Ginger water is a powerful

Ingredients:

· A 1-2 inch piece of fresh ginger root
· 1.5 to 2 cups of water
· Optional: Lemon slice, raw honey, or a pinch of turmeric

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Ginger: Wash the ginger root thoroughly. You do not need to peel it. You can either:
   · Slice it thinly: This creates more surface area for the flavor and compounds to infuse into the water.
   · Grate it: This creates the most potent infusion but will require straining.
2. Simmer, Don’t Boil: Bring the water to a boil in a small saucepan. Add the ginger and reduce the heat to a gentle simmer.
3. Steep: Let it simmer for 10-15 minutes. The longer it simmers, the stronger and spicier it will be.
4. Strain and Serve: Strain the ginger pieces out of the water and pour it into your mug.
5. Customize: Add a squeeze of lemon for vitamin C and flavor, or a teaspoon of raw honey to soothe a sore throat and add sweetness.
