Ingredients
- 1 cup water
- 1 tablespoon fresh ginger, sliced
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon honey (optional)
Instructions
- Begin by gathering all the ingredients: 1 cup of water, 1 tablespoon of fresh ginger sliced, 1 tablespoon of lemon juice, and 1 teaspoon of honey (if desired).
- In a small saucepan, pour in the 1 cup of water and place it over medium heat.
- While the water is heating, prepare the fresh ginger by slicing it into thin pieces. This will help release its flavor more effectively.
- Once the water reaches a gentle boil, add the sliced ginger to the saucepan.
- Reduce the heat to low and let the ginger simmer in the water for about 10 minutes. This will allow the flavors to infuse into the water.
- After 10 minutes, remove the saucepan from heat and strain the ginger pieces from the liquid using a fine mesh strainer or a sieve.
- Pour the ginger-infused water into a mug or heatproof glass.
- Add 1 tablespoon of freshly squeezed lemon juice to the mug, stirring gently to combine.
- If you prefer a touch of sweetness, add 1 teaspoon of honey to the drink and stir until it is fully dissolved.
- Allow the drink to cool slightly before sipping. Enjoy your soothing hot lemon ginger drink!
Tips
- Choose Fresh Ingredients: Always use fresh ginger root and freshly squeezed lemon juice for maximum flavor and health benefits.
- Slice Ginger Thinly: Thin slices help release more flavor and essential oils during simmering.
- Control Honey Quantity: For strict Low FODMAP diets, use minimal honey or consider using maple syrup as an alternative sweetener.
- Water Temperature Matters: Use gentle heat to prevent destroying the delicate nutrients in ginger and lemon.
- Strain Carefully: Use a fine mesh strainer to remove ginger pieces completely, ensuring a smooth drinking experience.
- Customize to Taste: Adjust lemon and honey quantities according to your preference while maintaining Low FODMAP guidelines.
