Ingredients
Lemon Ginger Ice Cubes
- 8 lemons rinsed and peeled
- 12 inches ginger root cut into 1" pieces
- 1 cup water (plus more if needed)
For Each Serving of Honey Lemon Ginger Tea
- 8 ounces boiling water
- 1 teaspoon honey
- 1 lemon ginger ice cube
Instructions
- Rinse the lemons then carefully remove and discard the peel and rind. Roughly cut the fresh lemon into quarters, and add to a blender along with the peeled 1" pieces of fresh ginger.
- Add the water and blend until smooth, adding a little extra water as needed until the mixture has a smoothie consistency.
- 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.
- Pour the lemon ginger juice into ice cube tray molds and freeze. Once frozen, transfer the frozen cubes to freezer bags.
To Make the Honey Lemon Ginger Tea
- When you're ready to make tea, place 8 ounces of boiling hot water in a mug along with the honey. Add 1 ginger ice cube and stir until melted. Enjoy!
Notes
- Storing Instructions: store frozen cubes of lemon ginger tea for up to 6 months in the freezer.
- Storing in the refrigerator: if you plan on making just a small batch of tea you can store the lemon and ginger juice in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 1 week.
