    Ginger Lemon Honey Tea Recipe

    This Ginger Lemon Honey Tea uses fresh, natural ingredients as a way to fight off and alleviate cold and flu systems. But you don’t have to be sick to enjoy a mug of this delicious warm tea. Feel free to make a huge batch of lemon and ginger ice cubes to stash in your freezer any time you need a little boost or want to enjoy a tasty natural homemade tea.

    Both lemons and ginger have vitamins and minerals that promote healthy digestion and a strong immune system. Paired with local raw honey and warm water, you’ll be hard-pressed to find a better way to start your day during the winter.

    Ingredients and Health Benefits in Ginger Lemon Honey Tea

    • Lemons - fresh lemons are loaded with vitamin C which greatly works to detox your body and boost the immune system.
    • Fresh Ginger - fresh ginger root is a total powerhouse for your entire system. Not only does it aid in digestion and help relieve upset stomachs, it’s also got major anti-inflammatory properties that help your immune system.
    • Honey - honey is a great antioxidant that helps to stimulate the immune system. It also helps coat and sooth a sore throat. If you can get some, local raw honey is the absolute best.

    How to Make Honey Lemon Ginger Tea

    1. Prep the lemons and ginger. Rinse the lemons then peel off and discard the rind. Roughly cut the fresh lemon into quarters, and add to a blender.  Rinse, peel, and cut the ginger root into 1" pieces and add to the blender. 
    2. Blend with water. Add about 1 cup of water, or enough to blend the lemons and ginger until smooth. Add a little extra water as needed until the mixture has a smoothie consistency.
    3. Strain the juice. Place a fine mesh strainer over a large bowl and squeeze to strain off as much juice as possible. Discard the pulp and continue straining until you have captured all of the juice.
    4. Freeze in ice cube trays. Pour the lemon ginger juice into ice cube tray molds and freeze.  Once frozen, transfer the frozen cubes to freezer bags.
    5. Make the Honey Lemon Ginger Tea. When you're ready to make tea, place 8-12 ounces of boiling hot water in a mug along with about 1 teaspoon of honey. Add 1-2 lemon ginger ice cubes and stir until the cubes are melted. Enjoy!
