- 1 inch piece of fresh ginger, peeled and grated
- 2 cups (480ml) filtered water
- ½ a Ceylon cinnamon stick
- One strip of lemon peel
- Lemon slices and/or fresh lemon juice for serving
- Sweetener of choice (like honey or stevia), to taste
In a small saucepan, combine the grated ginger, water, cinnamon stick, and lemon peel.
Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer over medium heat.
Lower the heat and let it barely simmer for about 5 minutes to let the flavors infuse.
Remove from heat, strain into a mug or teapot.
Add a squeeze of lemon juice or a slice, and sweeten to taste.
Serve warm and enjoy!
- Make-ahead tip: Brew a batch and store it in the fridge. Just reheat when needed or enjoy cold.
- Ingredient swaps: No lemon? Skip it. Want it spicier? Add more ginger. Mild version? Use less ginger and go heavy on the cinnamon.
- Storage: Lasts 2–3 days in the fridge in a sealed jar or bottle.
- Serving idea: Lovely with a splash of apple juice or a sprig of mint, too!
