Ingredients:
Fresh ginger root (about 1-2 inches)
Water (4 cups)
Optional: Lemon slices, honey, or mint for added flavor
Instructions:
Peel and Slice Ginger:
Peel the ginger root and slice it into thin rounds or grate it. The amount of ginger you use can be adjusted based on your preference for the intensity of the ginger flavor.
Boil Water:
Bring 4 cups of water to a boil in a pot or kettle.
Add Ginger:
Add the sliced or grated ginger to the boiling water. Reduce the heat to a simmer.
Steep:
Allow the ginger to steep in the hot water for about 10-15 minutes. If you want a stronger ginger flavor, you can steep it for a longer time.
Strain:
After steeping, strain the ginger pieces from the water. You can use a fine mesh strainer or cheesecloth.
Optional Additions:
Add a squeeze of fresh lemon juice for a citrusy twist.
Sweeten with honey to taste, if desired.
Garnish with mint leaves for freshness.
Serve:
Pour the ginger water into cups and serve it hot or let it cool for a refreshing cold drink. Enjoy it as is, or customize it with the optional additions.
Note:
Adjust the ginger, honey, and lemon to your taste preferences.
You can make a larger batch and refrigerate it for a few days. It can be served hot or cold.
