Prepare the Ingredients:
- Wash the lemon thoroughly. Use a vegetable peeler to remove the zest (yellow part) of the lemon, being careful to avoid the bitter white pith. Set the lemon peel aside.
- Peel the fresh ginger root and cut it into thin strips or small chunks, using approximately 30g of ginger.
-
Boil the Tea:
- Pour the water into a saucepan and add the lemon peel and the ginger pieces.
- Drop in the cinnamon stick for a subtle, aromatic flavor.
- Bring the mixture to a boil over medium heat, then reduce the heat to low and let it simmer for about 10-15 minutes, allowing the flavors to infuse the water.
-
Strain and Serve:
- Once the tea has steeped and the flavors have developed, strain the mixture into a teapot or directly into your cups.
- Serve the tea while it’s still hot, and enjoy the soothing warmth and zesty flavor.
Tips:
- For a sweeter version of this tea, you can add a teaspoon of honey or agave syrup.
- If you prefer a spicier kick, you can increase the amount of ginger or add a pinch of ground black pepper.
- This tea is naturally caffeine-free, making it a perfect drink to enjoy any time of day.
