Ginger water can be enjoyed hot or cold. My preference is steaming hot, and it’s especially comforting when I am not feeling well. I reach for a hot mug of ginger water if my digestion is feeling off, I am battling a cold, cough, or congestion, or just as an everyday healing beverage.
BENEFITS OF GINGER
- helps prevent and heal inflammation
- is an antioxidant
- helps with nausea
- aides indigestion
I am much more likely to drink ginger water regularly when I have a stash already made in the fridge, so I tend to double, triple, or quadruple the recipe each time I make it. Large Mason Jars like these work well for storage. You can also add some freshly squeezed lemon, honey, or turmeric to vary the flavor and add to the benefits.
Anti-Inflammatory Fresh Ginger Water
Equipment
- Zester
- Stainless Steel Pot
Ingredients
- 1/2 tsp Fresh Grated Organic Ginger
- 4 Cups Filtered Water
Instructions
- Boil 4 cups (or desired amount) of filtered water on the stove.
- Using a zester, grate fresh ginger while you wait for the water to boil. You can leave the skin on or peel it off before grating. I like to leave it on.
- Once the water is boiling, stir in the grated ginger, and remove it from the heat.
- Let the ginger steep in the water for 10 minutes.
- Strain the ginger pieces from the water, either directly into a mug or over large mason jars if you made a bigger batch. Discard the ginger pieces.
- Let cool to desired temperature before enjoying.
- Drink ginger water hot or cold.
Notes
Equipment:
Zester: This zester works well.
Stainless Steel Pot: This pot works well and is void of non-stick coatings.
Strainer: I love this strainer set and use it when I make this ginger tea and bone broth.
Mason Jars: I love these mason jars and use them to store tea, broth, sauces, and soups.
