Two flavours, one cup
Slice a few thin coins of fresh ginger root and drop them in a mug. Add the juice of half a lemon and pour over hot water. Let it sit for five minutes. That is the whole recipe.
Why the pair works
Ginger brings warmth and a little heat. Lemon brings a sharp, fresh note and vitamin C. Together they make a drink that is simple, cheap and pleasant any time of day.
Make it your own
Add a spoonful of honey if you like a sweeter cup. Add a pinch of turmeric for colour. In summer, chill the tea and serve it over ice with a sprig of mint.
Both are in BreathiZen
Ginger root extract and organic lemon extract are two of the five named ingredients in the spray. The kitchen version and the formula share the same fresh, familiar flavours.
Shopping tips
Pick ginger that is firm and smooth, with tight skin. Choose lemons that feel heavy for their size. Store ginger in the freezer to keep it fresh for months.
