I love herbal tea but there's nothing like a pot of steamy, zesty flavors made from scratch!
I love experimenting with different flavour combos, particularly citrus zests, sliced fruit
and spices like cloves, cardamom or fennel seeds.
This afternoon I made one of my old faves - ginger & lemon kick. This recipe is simple
but it's got at a real ginger bite you just can't get from dried ginger tea - try it!
For a medium pot, you'll need:
- Approx. 5cm chunk of ginger, grated
- zest from 1 x lemon, grated, plus the juice
- 2-3 teaspoons honey, or to taste
Method:
Add all ingredients to the pot & cover with plenty of boiling water. Stir & let steep for
5 minutes. Pour slowly into your cup (to keep the bits at the bottom) and serve with a slice
of fresh lemon.
The flavours get stronger the longer you leave it, and and you can top it up with boiling
water (& a little honey) to keep those flavours rolling-on.
Enjoy with a pal or solo.
