How to make ginger lemon tea

You’ll only need three ingredients for making this homemade ginger lemon tea, as follows:

  • Fresh Ginger – use organic for even more health benefits
  • Fresh Lemon – use organic if you like your lemon with skin
  • Cinnamon Stick – alternatively use cinnamon powder
  • Hot Water

This homemade tea is super easy to make. Just chop the ingredients, add them into a large tea cup and pour hot water over them. Let the tea rest for 5 minutes, and enjoy the magic of ginger and lemon!

Notes

You can reuse the cinnamon stick as many times as you want.

If you’re using the lemon with skin, please make sure to use an organically grown lemon. This is due to health risks associated with conventionally grown lemons (namely pesticide residues in the skin),
