Ingredients
| 1 | T | fresh ginger (peeled and chopped into smaller chunks) |
| 1⁄2 | t | orange peel |
| 1 | t | cinnamon (use the cinnamon sticks that are broken up into chunks) |
| 1⁄2 | t | cardamom seeds |
| 1⁄4 | t | spearmint leaf |
| 1 | sli | lemon |
| 2 | c | water |
Instructions
- Place the water and the chunks of ginger into a small saucepan. Heat the water until it's about to boil. While you're waiting on the water add the remaining herbs and spices (minus the lemon) into a steeping device or teabag so that it's ready to go when the water gets done.
- Pour the water into your mug and strain out the ginger chunks. Steep the spices in the water for 2-4 minutes.
- Finally, once the water is at a sipping temperature, squeeze the lemon juice into your mug and give it a good stir (we wait until the end to squeeze the lemon juice into the water so that the enzymes aren't destroyed by scalding hot water).
