Immune-Boosting Ginger & Lemon Tea

Simmering the ginger for a few minutes pulls out much more flavor than simply steeping it, giving this tea a genuine warmth and a bit of a kick.

Ginger and lemon are two of the most common ingredients in teas aimed at immune support, which is why this recipe carries that tag — both are frequently reached for at the first sign of a scratchy throat or an off day. A spoonful of honey softens the ginger's bite and adds a soothing texture.

Strain into a mug and sip slowly while it's still warm.

For a stronger tea, let the ginger simmer a few extra minutes, or add another slice if you like a more pronounced kick. This is a good one to keep warm on the stove if you're sipping it slowly over an hour.
