  • 2 pounds Lemons, ripe and juicy See recipe notes for brand we use
  • 1/2 cup Honey See reicpe notes for the brand we use.

Instructions

  • Peel the ginger and cut into small chunks. This can be hard work. Let us suggest doing so with the back of spoon. Less waste, fast, and your skin is saved from cuts!
  • Slice the lemons in half and place each half in a juicer. I love my electric juicer, it goes so fast!
  • Place the ginger and lemon juice in the blender and pulverize until smooth. Based on your blender, this could take several minutes.
  • Add the honey to the blender and blend for another 30 seconds.
  • Pour into rubber ice cube trays. Cover and place in freezer.
  • To make tea, first boil water. Place one ginger/lemon/honey cube in your cup and pour the hot water over the cube. If you like a sweeter and tangier tea, add honey and fresh lemon juice or a lemon slice. Avoid processed sugar.

Notes

  1. I keep my costs down by buying organic ginger root, honey, and lemons at Costco and Trader Joe's. 
  2. This tea is a miracle cure if you are prone to a sour stomach or indigestion. 
  3. Honey lemon ginger tea is the best home remedy for relieving all your winter woes, such as colds, or coughs, and flu.
  4. Some ginger can have pulp or strings. I like to leave that in, as it is a good source of fiber. If you prefer not to have that, remove it from the tea before drinking, either with a spoon or by passing it through a strainer.
  5. I enjoy one cup a day, usually in the evening. It is simply delicious.
