Creating a perfect cup of ginger tea is easy when you follow these steps:

1. Boil Water: In a saucepan, bring 2 cups of water to a boil over medium heat.
2. Add Ginger: Once the water is boiling, add the sliced ginger root to the pan.
3. Simmer: Reduce the heat and let the ginger simmer for about 10-15 minutes. The longer you simmer, the stronger the flavor.
4. Strain: After simmering, remove the pan from heat and strain the tea into a cup using a fine mesh strainer.
5. Add Sweetener: If desired, stir in honey and lemon juice for added flavor.
6. Optional Spice: If you enjoy a bit of spice, sprinkle a pinch of cinnamon on top before serving.
7. Serve Hot: Enjoy your ginger tea while it’s warm for the best experience.

These simple steps will guide you in making this incredible tea that not only warms your body but also invigorates your spirit.
