½ cup ginger, fresh, thinly sliced
6 cups water, cold
2 cinnamon sticks
2 tbsp honey
In a deep saucepan, add the cold water, ginger, and cinnamon sticks.
Bring to a boil.
Bring the heat down to low and let it simmer for about 10 minutes.
Add the honey.
Strain the tea to separate from ginger and cinnamon. Serve while hot!
You may drink this tea cold as well as hot. For cold serving, simply transfer the tea to a pitcher or carafe, and let it chill in the refrigerator until cool. For a hint of citrus flavor, you may add a washed lemon peel to your tea. Make sure to boil it along with the ginger, cinnamon, and cold water. No lemon peel? No problem. Mixing in 1 tablespoon of fresh lime juice will have the same effect. If you don’t have any ginger root, using ground ginger will also help give your tea a more robust taste.
