| Ingredients for Making Ginger Tea |
Ginger tea is one of my favorite foods for healthy living.It is full of antioxidants and anti-inflammatory nutrients. Every ingredient in the tea is great for reducing inflammation.I have a cup every morning with breakfast.
Peel a one to two inch slice of fresh ginger root.
Use a microplane grater to finely grate 1 to 2 tablespoons of the fresh ginger. Freshly grated ginger is quite spicy. You may want to use 1 teaspoon rather than 1 to 2 tablespoons and gradually increase the amount of ginger a little bit each day until you get used to the taste of freshly grated ginger. If you love spicy flavors and adore ginger, go for the larger amount from the get go.
You can make ginger tea in any mug with any type of tea bag or you can use an infuser tea mug and loose leaf organic tea.

If you are using a regular mug and tea bag, put the grated ginger into the mug.
Add 1 to 2 teaspoons of raw local honey.
Add the juice from one slice of lime or lemon.
Add 1/4 teaspoon of ground cinnamon.
Wait for the teakettle to whistle.
Fill the mug half full with boiling water.
Stir briskly to thoroughly mix the ingredients and dissolve the ginger.
Add a single serving size tea bag of your favorite black or green tea.
Add hot water to finish filling up the mug.
Steep the tea for three to five minutes depending on how strong you like your tea.
Remove the tea bag and enjoy.
I prefer making ginger tea using loose leaf organic tea in an infuser mug that has an inner removable strainer.If you use an infusion mug, follow these steps.
Put the grated ginger and your favorite loose leaf organic tea into the infuser. Oolong, Darjeeling, and Irish Breakfast are some of my favorite loose leaf organic teas.
Add a slice of lime or lemon and hot water.
After the tea has steeped for 4 minutes, remove the inner infuser liner and add the honey and cinnamon.
Stir and enjoy.
