2 cups water

About 2-3 inches fresh ginger root 

Squeeze of fresh lemon to taste

Pinch pink Himalayan salt

Optional Spices:

Winter Time: 2-3 Cloves

Need Sweet? ~½ tsp raw honey or if avoiding sugar, a stick of ceylon cinnamon

Instructions

1. Bring water to low simmer

2. Peel and remove skin of ginger. Dice into dime size pieces (should be about 15-20 pieces)

4. Strain into tea cup 

5. Add pinch of pink Himalayan salt and squeeze of lemon

6. If adding honey, add once tea is at drinkable temperature (cooked honey is extremely difficult for the body to digest)
