homestead how-to
– 1-inch chunk of fresh ginger, peeled intact – 1 cup water – Optional ingredients: 1 cinnamon stick, 1 piece of fresh turmeric, 3-4 sprigs of mint (choose one) – Optional additions: Sliced lemon, sliced oranges, Honey, or Maple Syrup
Place one cup of water in a pot and set the heat to medium-high.
While the water heats up, slice a piece of ginger into thin slices.
Once the water reaches a boil, add the sliced ginger (and chosen flavorings) to the pot. Allow the hot water and ginger mixture to steep for 4-5 minutes
If you’re preparing the tea in advance, you can strain it into a mason jar.
Sweeten the tea to taste by adding honey, agave syrup, or maple syrup. Stir well to ensure it dissolves.
