Why drink Honey Lemon Ginger tea?

Lemon, ginger, and honey each have their own natural health and medicinal benefits. Lemon contains a high amount of vitamin C and provides strong digestive enzymes. Ginger has components that lower blood sugar levels and boost immunity. While honey is a good source of antioxidants, helps soothe a sore throat, and is a natural antibacterial agent.

With these 3 natural ingredients combined, this tea is a powerhouse of vitamins and minerals that help promote a strong immune system and also provide other health benefits.

  3. This tea also helps keep nausea and vomiting at bay from morning sickness, motion sickness or even effects of chemotherapy. Ginger and lemon infusion is generally considered safe during pregnancy. Since each pregnancy is different, ask for your doctor's advise if you want to try this recipe.

How to Serve and Store

You may enjoy this Honey Lemon Ginger Tea any time of the day. Drink it in the morning to start your day, charge up your metabolism, or prevent nausea. Or drink it before bedtime to help you relax before sleeping.

Make sure that the jar is sterile before placing the honey ginger lemon mixture. Place sealed jar in the fridge, if properly stored, it will last for up to one month.

Additional Tips

  • Use organic lemons that are not sprayed with chemicals or insecticides as much as possible. If not sure, blanch the lemons in hot water then transfer to ice bath and brush the skin to remove dirt and wax, if any.
  • Pure honey is more expensive but is, of coarse, the best. There are different way to know if your honey is unadulterated. Pure honey does not easily dissolve in water. Another way to test it is by placinf some drops of it on a piece of paper. If it is pure it will not leave a wet mark but a diluted one would.
  • Use the edge od a spoon to scrape the skin off the ginger for easy peeling.
  • You can also use or add different citrus fruits available, like calamansi, lime, citron, orange, and kumquat.

Ingredients
 

  • 1 cup honey
  • 3 pieces lemons
  • 3 tablespoon fresh ginger

Instructions
 

  • 3 pieces lemons
    Place the lemons in a colander, pour boiling water over them to remove wax. Then transfer to a bowl of cold or room temperature water and rinse while scrubbing the outer skin. Using a clean kitchen towel, dry the lemons.
  • 3 pieces lemons
    Cut the lemons into quarters, lengthwise. Remove the seeds. Now slice the lemon (with skin) as thin as possible. Set aside.
  • 3 tablespoon fresh ginger
    Peel the ginger by using the edge of a spoon to scrape away the skin. Rinse and pat dry. Cut into very small cubes or use a coarse grater (grater with a bit bigger holes) to grate the ginger.
  • 3 pieces lemons, 3 tablespoon fresh ginger, 1 cup honey
    Place a half of the lemon and ginger in the jar and pour half of the honey over them and stir to mix. Add the remaining lemon, ginger and honey and mix again.
  • Seal the jar and let it sit in the fridge at least overnight for the flavors to infuse.
  • Before using, give the jar a good shake or stir, as the honey may sit at the bottom of the jar. Add a spoonful of the mixture to a cup and add boiling water.
