Ginger Mint Tea
Ginger mint tea is so good for you and it’s super comforting too! All you need is 4 ingredients and less than 20 minutes!
I LOVE tea. Not a day passes that I don’t have at least one cup of tea. And while I usually just go for a tea bag, sometimes I like to make my own little concoction with real ginger, fresh mint, lemon and just a touch of honey. The combination of ginger and mint is one of my favorites. It’s bright, a little spicy and it’s anti-inflammatory, aids in digestion and can soothe an upset stomach. Let’s make it!

Ingredients
Ginger mint tea
- Fresh ginger root

- Lemon juice

Trader Joe’s has little packets of powdered ginger that you can mix into water and I sometimes use these. So if you aren’t into dealing with fresh ginger and you have a Trader Joe’s nearby you might want to check out their ginger drink mix! And even though they call it a ‘mix’ the only ingredient is ginger. No sugar, no additives.
