Ingredients
Quantities are shown as originally provided.
- 2- 4 ounces (56.7g-113.4g) fresh ginger root, (about 1 cup chopped peeled ginger)
- 1 star anise
- 3-4 cracked cardamon ((I used the green ones that in a pod))
- 3-4 cinnamon sticks
- 6- 8 cups (1422ml-1896ml) water, (adjust to desired strength, with more or less)
- ½ cup (125ml) lemon juice, (or more to taste)
- 2 large lemons, (sliced (optional))
Instructions
- 1
Add ginger, star anise, cardamon, and cinnamon sticks to a medium pot.
- 2
Pour in water and place on the stove over medium-high heat.

As soon as the water comes to a boil, reduce the heat to low and cook for about 5-10 minutes. The longer you cook, the stronger the ginger tea is.

Adjust the cooking times as needed. Taste as it simmers and add more water if needed.

Turn the stove off, remove the pot. Sieve the ginger tea using a fine sieve or cheesecloth over a large bowl or teacup or mug. Discard the remaining ingredients. Add lemon juice, start with a 1/4 cup and adjust with more, as needed to suit taste buds.
