Steeped Ginger Lemon Tea(No honey): Soothe & Awaken

This Ginger Lemon Tea is a warm hug for your gut and a fresh start for your senses. Made by steeping instead of boiling, it’s delicate yet effective — soothing the stomach, kindling digestion, and bringing clarity without the intensity of over-spicing or processed sweeteners.

Ginger Lemon Tea is an herbal infusion where fresh ginger is steeped in hot water with lemon juice added later. This version skips honey and avoids boiling the tea leaves or powder, keeping the essence subtle, sattvic, and ayurvedically balanced.

🛒 Ingredients:

• 1 tsp black tea powder or 1 tea bag (optional — skip for herbal version)
• 1½ cups hot water (around 85–90°C)
• 1 tsp fresh ginger, finely grated or crushed
• Juice of ½ fresh lemon
• 1 tsp natural palm sugar (optional and to taste)

🥣 Method:

1. Steep Ginger and Tea
   • Heat water until just before boiling.
   • In a cup or pot, add the ginger and tea powder/tea bag.
   • Pour hot water over it, cover, and steep for 5–7 minutes.
2. Strain and Finish
   • Strain into a cup.
   • Let cool slightly, then stir in fresh lemon juice.
   • Add palm sugar if needed and serve warm.

🌿 Ayurvedic Benefits

1. Ginger: Enhances agni (digestive fire), relieves bloating, reduces kapha.
2. Lemon: Alkalizes the body, clears ama (toxins), balances vata and pitta.
3. Palm sugar: A sattvic sweetener that doesn’t disturb doshas when used moderately.

💡Pro Tips from the Indian Kitchen

• Always add lemon juice after cooling slightly to retain Vitamin C.
• If using tea leaves, avoid over-steeping — 3–4 minutes is ideal.
• Use young ginger for a less pungent flavor, especially if sensitive.
