Ingredients You'll Need to Make Ginger Tea

Here’s what you’ll need to whip up this delicious ginger tea:

• 1 fresh ginger root (about 1–2 inches, peeled and thinly sliced)
• 2 cups of water (filtered or bottled water for the best flavor)
• 1–2 teaspoons of honey (optional, for sweetness)
• 1 slice of lemon (optional, for a citrusy twist)

• 1 piece of cinnamon stick (optional, for added warmth)

Step-by-Step Guide to Make Ginger Tea

Follow these simple steps to brew a perfect cup of ginger tea:

1. Prepare Your Ginger: Peel the ginger root using a spoon or knife. Then, slice it thinly or grate it for a stronger flavor. The finer the ginger, the more its natural oils and spice will infuse into the water.

2. Boil the Water with Precision: Fill the Luna Electric Tea Kettle with 2 cups of fresh water. Set the temperature to around 200°F (93°C)—ideal for herbal teas. Luna’s precision feature ensures that the water heats quickly and doesn’t over-boil, which can sometimes dull the delicate flavors of fresh ginger.

3. Steep the Ginger: Place the ginger slices in a teapot or mug. Once your water reaches the perfect temperature, pour it over the ginger. Cover the cup or teapot and let it steep for 5–10 minutes, depending on how strong you like your tea.

4. Add Sweeteners (Optional): If you prefer a hint of sweetness, stir in a teaspoon or two of honey. For a refreshing citrus note, squeeze in a slice of lemon.

5. Enjoy Your Ginger Tea: Strain out the ginger slices, pour the tea into your favorite mug, and sip away! With the Luna Electric Kettle, your tea-making process is not only efficient but also enjoyable.

Tips for the Best Ginger Tea

1. Adjust the Strength: Simmer longer for a stronger, spicier taste.
2. Make It Iced: Let the tea cool, add ice, and enjoy it as a refreshing summer drink.
