Steps
1
Trim the ends of the ginger root and peel it. Grate the ginger vertically against the grain to prevent breaking the fibers. Collect 1 tablespoon of grated ginger including the juice and transfer to a saucepan.
2
Thinly slice the lemon and cut into quarters.
3
Add 2 cups of water to the saucepan and bring it to a simmer over medium heat.
4
Meanwhile, prepare a slurry by mixing 1 tablespoon of water with 0.5 tablespoon of potato starch or cornstarch.
5
Once simmering, lower the heat and add 2 tablespoons of honey, stirring to ensure it dissolves completely.
6
Add 1 to 2 teaspoons of freshly squeezed lemon juice.
7
Mix the slurry once more and add it to the ginger tea, stirring quickly to prevent lumps from forming.
8
Once the ginger tea has slightly thickened, pour it into cups and top with a lemon slice. Enjoy.
