5 ingredients · 30 minutes · 4 servings
This is one of my favourite drinks! You can serve it hot or on ice. It’s warm & comforting on a cold day & refreshing on a hot summer day. It’s caffeine-free, virtually calorie-free & it’s delicious.
Ginger is what gives this tea its spicy kick, and it also offers so many health benefits:
-By speeding motility & emptying of the stomach, it can help to relieve gas, constipation, bloating & nausea.
-Has antibacterial, antimicrobial & antifungal properties making this a great add-in if you struggle with things like candida, SIBO or other gut imbalances.
-Promotes normal blood sugar which is huge for our energy, weight loss, sleep & more.
Directions
Add all ingredients except the lemon & stevia/honey to a large pot & bring to a boil over high heat. Allow to simmer for ~30 min.
Remove from the heat & add the stevia.
Strain & serve hot with a slice of lemon or for Iced Ginger Tea, allow to cool, strain into a jug & add the lemon juice, stir & chill until ice cold!
