How To Make Ginger Tea (Two Methods + Flavor Options)

Step 1

In a small saucepan, bring the water to a boil over medium-high heat.

Step 2

Meanwhile, clean and chop your fresh ginger into 1-2" pieces. I use roughly 1-2 slices of ginger per cup of tea.If you use non-organic ginger, you will want to first peel it.

Step 3

Add the ginger to the saucepan* and stir, then reduce the heat to a low simmer and leave this to simmer for five minutes. You can leave it for slightly longer if you want even stronger tea.

Step 4

Strain the tea into mugs/teacups and then add a thin slice ( or two) of fresh lemon to each cup ( or even some lemon juice) and a drizzle of honey. Stir well and enjoy it!

Step 5

Whenever I make ginger juice, I save the pulp into teaspoon-sized servings in an ice-cube tray. Once frozen, I pop them into a silicone bag and remove them as needed.

Step 6

When making this tea, remove 1-2 tsp sized pieces of pulp from the freezer and place it in a tea strainer.

Step 7

Pour the boiling water over the pulp and then leave to steep for 5-10 minutes. The flavor of ginger pulp tea will differ from that using fresh ginger. Not only because of the change in the steeping method, but also the texture of the ginger.

Step 8

Once steeped, add lemon slices and honey and enjoy your honey ginger tea!
