Honey lemon ginger tea is the ultimate hug-in-a-mug.
- 2
Start by boiling 3 cups of fresh, filtered water in a medium saucepan over medium heat.
- 3
Filtered water makes all the difference—it keeps your tea crisp and clean.
- 4
As the water warms up, toss in 1 teaspoon of ground ginger.
- 5
Let the ginger hang out and steep in the water for about 3-4 minutes.
- 6
You'll start smelling that signature zingy aroma—it's like a little wellness spa for your nose.
- 7
While that's doing its thing, grab your tea leaves.
- 8
You'll need 3 teaspoons of your go-to loose-leaf tea—black tea for a bold punch or green tea if you're feeling a lighter vibe.
- 9
When the ginger has had its moment, add your tea leaves straight into the pot.
- 10
Give everything a gentle stir and let it steep for another 2-3 minutes, depending on how strong you like your tea.
- 11
Want a mellow blend? Go shorter.
- 12
Craving a strong kick? Let it chill a little longer.
- 13
Take the pot off the heat, and strain your tea into cups to get rid of the ginger bits and tea leaves.
- 14
You'll be left with this gorgeous, golden-brown liquid that smells like pure comfort.
- 15
Now for the fun part: flavour magic.
- 16
Add one teaspoon of fresh lemon juice to each cup.
- 17
The lemon's tangy brightness cuts through the ginger's heat and ties everything together like the perfect bow.
- 18
Bonus: hello, vitamin C boost!
- 19
Then, stir in one teaspoon of honey per cup.
- 20
This natural sweetness balances out the spice and tang, giving the tea that smooth, soothing vibe.
- 21
Plus, honey's antibacterial and throat-soothing powers are the cherry on top.
- 22
Give everything a good mix, take a sip, and adjust the honey or lemon if you need.
- 23
Want it sweeter? More honey.
- 24
Feeling zesty? More lemon.
- 25
It's your cup—own it.
- 26
Serve your honey lemon ginger tea hot in your favourite mug and sip it slowly.

Let the warmth, spice, and citrusy brightness wake up your senses and calm your soul all at once.
