Ginger tea in glass

Ginger tea for gut health

Course Drinks
Prep Time 5 minutes

Ingredients

  • 2 cm fresh ginger
  • 1 cup water - filtered is best
  • 1/2 whole lemon - organic is better unless you squeeze the lemon, rather than include sliced
  • 1 tspn honey - (optional) leave out or add honey to taste

Instructions

  1. Wash the lemon well with a brush as it will be going in the strainer

  2. Slice the lemon (no need to remove the pips as it will be going in the strainer)

  3. Grate the ginger - you can peel it first if you wish but I personally don't bother :)

  4. Grate the ginger - you can grate more than you need and store it in the fridge or freezer

  5. Add the ginger, sliced lemon and hot water to the tea strainer

  6. Leave for at least two minutes

  7. Enjoy!

  8. You can add hot water to the strainer a second time and it will still have good flavour

The Sciencey Bit

Ever had real ginger tea?

It's soothing an invigorating and at the same time is fantastic for gut health and is also soothing.

For my clients with gut issues, I recommend that they drink 500ml of strong ginger tea a day!

In the summer, try it iced and top it with sparkling water for a zingy and refreshing drink.
