Today, I decided to make some organic lemon ginger tea. I’ve been feeling a bit under the weather lately, and I heard this stuff is like magic for a sore throat and stuffy nose. So, I thought, why not give it a shot?

First, I went and gathered my ingredients. I needed some fresh ginger, a couple of lemons, and some honey – that’s it. I wanted to keep it all organic, you know, the good stuff. I didn’t have any organic options available so I had to use regular.

I started by washing the ginger root under some cold water, gave it a good scrub. Then, I used a spoon to peel off the skin. It came off pretty easily, actually. After that, I sliced the ginger into thin rounds. I like my tea pretty strong, so I used about a two-inch piece. Then I washed and sliced the lemon into rounds as well.

• Fresh ginger root
• Organic lemons
• Honey (optional)
• Water

Next, I grabbed a small pot and filled it with about two cups of water. I tossed in the ginger slices and brought the water to a boil. Once it was boiling, I turned down the heat and let it simmer for about 15 minutes. You could smell the ginger already, it was awesome. While the ginger was simmering, I squeezed the juice from one of the lemons into a mug.

After the 15 minutes were up, I took the pot off the heat and poured the ginger water into the mug with the lemon juice. I gave it a good stir to mix everything together. Finally, I added a spoonful of honey to sweeten it up a bit, but that’s totally optional. You can leave it out if you want.

And that’s it! My homemade organic lemon ginger tea was ready. I took a sip, and it was seriously good. Warm, soothing, and just a little bit spicy from the ginger. It definitely helped clear up my sinuses a bit, too. I’m thinking I might make this a regular thing, even when I’m not feeling sick. It’s that good!

I ended up drinking two cups of it throughout the day and feeling a lot better. So, if you’re feeling a bit under the weather or just want a tasty and healthy drink, give this organic lemon ginger tea a try. It’s super easy to make, and you probably already have most of the ingredients at home. Trust me, your body will thank you for it!
