to the hot water and allow it to gently steep for approximately 5 minutes.
Strain the Drink
Strain the ginger-infused water into a heat-safe cup to remove the ginger pieces.
Add the Lime
Allow the drink to cool slightly for 1–2 minutes, then stir in 1 tablespoon of freshly squeezed lime juice.
Adding the lime after the water has cooled slightly helps preserve its fresh citrus flavor.
Sweeten and Serve
Add 1 teaspoon of honey if desired and stir well. Garnish with a fresh lime slice and serve warm.
Best Tips
Use fresh lime rather than bottled lime juice whenever possible for a brighter flavor.
Fresh ginger gives the drink a much more pronounced flavor than dried ginger powder.
Do not add honey to extremely hot liquid. Let the drink cool slightly first.
Adjust the lime according to your taste. If you prefer a milder drink, begin with 1–2 teaspoons
