For a stronger ginger flavor, allow the ginger to steep for up to 8 minutes.
Best Ingredient Options
Lime: Choose firm, heavy limes that feel juicy when gently squeezed.

Honey: Raw honey can be used, although regular honey works perfectly well in this recipe.
Water: Filtered water provides a clean-tasting base.
Cinnamon: A small amount adds warmth and complements both ginger and lime.
Recipe Variations
Lemon & Ginger Drink: Replace the lime juice with fresh lemon juice.
Mint & Lime Drink: Add several fresh mint leaves during the final few minutes of steeping.
