FAQs for Spicy Ginger Lemon Tea

How long should I steep the ginger for?

You can steep the ginger for 3-5 minutes depending on how strong you like the flavor. If you prefer a milder taste, steep it for a shorter time, and for a more intense flavor, let it sit a bit longer.

Can I use ground ginger instead of fresh ginger?

Yes, you can use ground ginger, but fresh ginger will provide a more authentic and robust flavor. If using ground ginger, start with about 1/4 teaspoon and adjust according to your taste.

Is this tea good for digestion?

Yes! Ginger is known for its digestive benefits. It can help soothe an upset stomach, reduce nausea, and aid digestion. It’s a great option after a heavy meal or whenever you feel a bit bloated.

Can I make this tea ahead of time?

It’s best to make this tea fresh to enjoy the full flavor, but if you want to prepare it ahead of time, you can refrigerate the tea (without honey or lemon) and reheat it when you’re ready to drink. Add honey and lemon just before serving.

Can I make this tea iced?

Absolutely! You can brew the tea and let it cool down, then pour it over ice for a refreshing iced version. It’s just as delicious cold as it is warm!

How much honey should I add?

Start with 1 tablespoon of honey, and adjust to your preference. If you like your tea sweeter, you can add more honey, or you can skip it altogether if you prefer a more tart flavor.
