How to Make Soothing Ginger Tea

Toast 1 teaspoon cardamom pods and 1 teaspoon fennel seeds in a small saucepan over medium-high heat for 1 minute, or until fragrant.
Add 2 cups of water and 1 inch piece of peeled and thinly sliced fresh ginger to the saucepan.
Reduce heat to low and simmer gently for 10-15 minutes, or until the tea reaches your desired strength.
Remove from heat and stir in 1 tablespoon of honey (or to taste) and 5-6 fresh mint leaves.
Let the tea steep for 5 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
Strain the tea through a fine-mesh sieve into mugs. Garnish with an extra mint sprig and enjoy!
