Ginger Water For Weight Loss Recipe
A simple drink recipe made with ginger, water, lemon and honey.
Ingredients
- 10-12 small pieces of ginger (ginger peeled and cut into small pieces)
- 1 glass of water
- 1 teaspoon honey
- 1 teaspoon lemon extract
Instructions
- In a small pot, combine 1 cup of water and bring it to a boil over medium heat.
- Add your ginger. Freshly grated for a stronger drink or sliced pieces for something milder.
- Once boiling, reduce to low heat and simmer for 5 minutes. Do not over-boil, or the drink turns bitter.
- Turn off the heat and allow to cool until just tepid. Do not rush this step.
- Strain the ginger through a fine-mesh strainer.
- If using honey, this is the time to add it, making sure the water is still warm enough for it to dissolve.
- You can also add lemon juice later, i.e., after it has cooled. This process leaves behind a non-bitter and fresh flavor.
- Always taste and adjust accordingly. If it is too strong, add another splash of water. Missing a little something, add some more lemon.
