1/2-inch piece of fresh ginger, peeled and sliced thin
1/4 lemon, juiced
1 teaspoon honey (optional, for added sweetness and throat-soothing)

Directions

In a small pot, bring 1 cup of water to a boil.
Toss the sliced ginger into the boiling water, reduce the heat, and let it simmer for 5-7 minutes. This allows the ginger to release its spicy goodness.
Remove the pot from heat, then squeeze in the lemon juice. Stir well.
Pour the tea into your favorite mug, and if you’d like, add 1 teaspoon of honey. Stir until fully dissolved.
Serve warm.

Notes

Sip slowly and enjoy the comforting relief it brings to your throat and cough.

What Does Lemon Ginger Tea Taste Like?

This tea has a spicy kick from the ginger, balanced with a tangy, citrusy flavor from the lemon. Add a touch of honey, and it’s a cozy, sweet, and zesty drink that feels like a warm hug for your throat.

Additional Tips

Here are some pro tip to make your tea taste better and bring more benefits.

For an extra kick, add a pinch of turmeric or cayenne pepper for added anti-inflammatory benefits.
Use fresh ginger for the best flavor and health benefits—ground ginger doesn’t pack the same punch.

Tea Pairing

Pair your lemon ginger tea with:

Plain crackers or toast: Easy on the stomach and won’t interfere with the tea’s flavor.
Honey-dipped apple slices: A sweet treat that complements the tea’s soothing properties.
Ginger cookies: Double down on the ginger power!
