Tipps
Use Fresh Ginger
For a more vibrant flavor, use fresh ginger rather than dried. When shopping for ginger, look for roots with a smooth, shiny skin, which are likely to be juicier and have better flavor.
Adjust Sweetness to Taste
Sweeten this drink to your liking! If you prefer a sweeter tea, add a bit more honey or stevia. Be aware that if you add too much sweetener, the ginger and lemon flavors may be overpowered.
Garnish Variations
Consider other fresh herbs for a different twist on this recipe. Basil or lemongrass can add more depth to the flavor profile and make your tea even more special.
Serve it Your Way
You can serve this tea hot or cold. If you plan to serve it as a cold refreshing beverage, allow it to cool down before you chill it in the refrigerator.
