Notes

Tips and Tricks
  • Adjust to taste: Add more honey for sweetness or extra lemon for a brighter flavor.
  • Stronger flavor: Let the ginger steep a little longer for a more intense taste.
  • Fresh is best: Use fresh lemon juice and ginger for the best flavor.
  • Water temperature: Use hot, not aggressively boiling water to keep flavors balanced.
  • Serving idea: Perfect as a soothing drink on chilly days or when you want something light and refreshing.
