Instructions:
Start by bringing 2 cups of water to a gentle simmer in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Once the water is near boiling, add the freshly grated ginger and the Assam tea leaves to the water. Allow it to boil for about 1 minute, letting the flavors infuse.
Next, remove the saucepan from heat and stir in the fresh lemon juice, allowing the tea to steep for another minute with the lid covered. After the minute, strain the tea into your cups, discarding the tea leaves and ginger bits.
Optionally, add honey to taste. If you prefer a naturally tart tea, you can skip the honey entirely. Stir well to combine, and your Ginger Lemon Black Tea is ready to serve.
For an extra indulgent treat, pair your tea with an Oatmeal Cranberry Cookie or some crunchy Phool Makhana to elevate your evening tea experience.
Enjoy this refreshing, soothing, and aromatic tea that combines the zing of ginger, the freshness of lemon, and the robustness of Assam black tea!
