Components:
- One inch of newly cut ginger
- One cinnamon stick or one teaspoon of ground cinnamon
- One water liter
- Lemon or honey (optional; taste-wise)
Guidelines:
- Get the ginger ready: Grate the ginger root finely after peeling it.
- Bring water to a boil in a medium-sized pot to bring the ingredients to a boil. Add the ground cinnamon (or cinnamon stick) and the grated ginger. To release additional flavor, break the cinnamon stick into pieces if you’re using one.
- Simmer: For ten to fifteen minutes, lower the heat and let the mixture to simmer. This enables the spices to completely flavor the water.
- Pour the tea through a strainer into a pitcher or cup for serving. You may also add a teaspoon of honey to bring out the natural sweetness or a squeeze of lemon for added flavor and detoxification benefits.
- Savor: Ideally, have a cup of tea with ginger and cinnamon two or three times a day, before to meals.
