How to Make the Perfect Ginger-Clove-Honey Tea (Takes Only 10 Minutes)
Basic Daily Recipe (1–2 servings)
- 1-inch fresh ginger root, thinly sliced (no need to peel)
- 4–5 whole cloves
- 2 cups filtered water
- 1–2 teaspoons raw honey (add after cooling slightly)
- Optional: slice of lemon or a pinch of cinnamon
Steps:
- Bring water to a gentle boil in a small pot.
- Add ginger slices and cloves.
- Lower heat and simmer 8–10 minutes (the longer, the stronger).
- Remove from heat, let cool 2 minutes.
- Strain into your favorite mug.
- Stir in raw honey (never add to boiling water — it preserves the beneficial enzymes).
- Sip slowly and feel the warmth spread.
Best times to drink:
- First thing in the morning on an empty stomach — kick-starts digestion and metabolism
- Mid-afternoon instead of coffee — steady energy without jitters
- 30–45 minutes before bed — deeply relaxing
