Then start with ginger and lemon tea which is not only a great choice of drink every day, but it is also a great alternative to coffee!

Making lemon ginger tea does not require rocket science measurements. All you need is water and some other ingredients you can easily find in your local market. There are some variations in making this tea. Read on and opt for the one you prefer the most.

 

Basic Honey Lemon Ginger Tea

A soothing tea with a dash of sweetness, a tinge of sourness, and a touch of spiciness! To achieve this taste all you will need are 3 ingredients: honey, lemon, ginger, and of course, hot water. First, cut the lemon in half to squeeze half of its juice into a cup or mug. Second, peel the ginger and grate it. Add it into the mug with the lemon juice, then add hot water and honey to taste.

 

Anti-inflammatory Lemon Ginger Tea

Make a Basic Honey Lemon Ginger tea and add a pinch or two of turmeric powder. This blend will enhance the drink’s anti-inflammatory benefits.

 

Nostalgic Lemon Ginger Tea

Similar to the first two blends, to make this you have to mix in a stick of cinnamon in your mug or teapot. This brings a different aroma and taste to the tea just like Christmas when you just want to relax, read a book, and sip a warm cup of tea!

 

If you are focusing on weight loss you can use any of the blends, but you should drink at least two cups a day –one in the morning and the other at night. It is also advisable to take this 30 minutes before a meal. Drinking lemon ginger tea on an empty stomach in the morning can help in digestion and food absorption. 

Lemon ginger tea is a wonderful concoction that has so many health benefits. Always remember though, all these benefits can be gained through the help of disciplining yourself and following a healthy diet. If you want these benefits, grab your mug and make some lemon ginger tea to have a tea-rrific day!
