How to Make Not Just For A Sore Throat Tea
- Mince 1-inch piece of fresh ginger.
- Zest the peel of 1 lemon (about 1 tablespoon of zest).
- Roughly chop 1/2 cup fresh mint leaves.
- Combine the minced ginger, lemon zest, mint, and 6 cups of water in a medium saucepan. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat.
- Reduce heat to low, and simmer gently for 20-25 minutes, or until the liquid has reduced to approximately 5 cups. Stir occasionally.
- Remove from heat. Strain the tea through a fine-mesh sieve or cheesecloth-lined strainer into a clean saucepan.
- Return the strained liquid to the saucepan. Add 2 tablespoons of fresh lemon juice and 2-4 tablespoons of honey (or to taste).
- Simmer for 2 more minutes, stirring gently.
- Serve warm. Optional: Add a teaspoon of echinacea extract per cup for added immune support (as suggested by Martha Stewart).
