Ingredients:

  • 2 fresh lemons
  • A piece of ginger root (about the size of your thumb)
  • A little honey (to taste)
  • A pinch of salt
  • A sprinkle of soda (optional, for a fizzy twist)

Instructions:

  1. Prepare the Lemons and Ginger: Start by washing the lemons thoroughly. Slice them into thin rounds, removing any seeds. Next, peel the ginger root and slice it into thin strips or small pieces, whichever you prefer.
  2. Brew the Magic Potion: In a pot, add about two cups of water. Bring it to a gentle boil and then add your lemon slices and ginger. Let this simmer for about 10-15 minutes. The aroma itself is a treat!
  3. Add the Sweet Touch: After simmering, remove the pot from the heat. This is where you add a little honey. Remember, honey is not just for sweetness; it’s also known for its antibacterial properties. Stir in the honey while the mixture is still warm so it dissolves nicely.
  4. A Pinch of Salt: It might sound unusual, but a pinch of salt can elevate the flavors. Just a pinch, though!
  5. The Fizzy Option: If you’re feeling adventurous, add a sprinkle of soda to your cup for a fizzy, refreshing twist. This step is entirely optional.
  6. Enjoy! Pour the mixture through a strainer into your favorite cup. Sit back, relax, and enjoy this warm, comforting drink.
