Drink Recipe ⤏ Honey-Lemon Ginger Tea

I visited a coffee shop in Hartford on a cold winter day and ordered their honey lemon ginger tea. It was tart, sweet, full of flavor, and warmed me from head to toe. The proprietor was nice enough to give me a rough description of her recipe. After a few tries at home, I came up with this close version.

Ingredients

• 4 cups water
• ¾ cup brown sugar
• ¼ cup grated ginger root
• 3 tea bags
• 2 lemons, juiced
• 3 tablespoons honey

Cooking Directions

1. Stir water, brown sugar, and grated ginger root together in a saucepan; bring to a boil, reduce heat to medium-low, and cook at a simmer for 20 minutes.
2. Remove saucepan from heat and add tea bags; steep tea to desired strength, 3 to 5 minutes. Remove and discard tea bags.
3. Stir lemon juice and honey into the tea; strain into a pitcher.
