Method
Preparation
- Gather your ingredients: fresh ginger, a lemon, and water. Have your tools ready, including a pot, a knife, and a cup.
- Pour about 2 cups of water into a pot. Bring it to a boil over medium-high heat—this should take about 5-7 minutes.
- While the water is heating, peel a small piece of fresh ginger (about 1 inch). Slice it into thin pieces to release the flavor better.
- Once the water reaches a boil, remove it from the heat. Add the sliced ginger to the hot water and let it steep for about 10-15 minutes.
- After steeping, strain the ginger slices and pour the infused ginger water into a cup. Squeeze in the juice of half a lemon for flavor.
- Give it a taste. If you prefer a stronger lemon flavor, feel free to add more lemon juice.
- Sip the warm lemon-ginger water slowly, enjoying the comforting warmth and zesty flavor.
