AFTERNOON KICK

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.
