Anti-Inflammatory Fresh Ginger Water

Ginger water can be enjoyed hot or cold. Ginger helps prevent and heal inflammation, is an antioxidant, helps with nausea, and aides in digestion.
Prep Time5 minutes
Cook Time20 minutes
Servings: 1

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

You can also add freshly squeezed lemon or a dash of honey to vary the flavor.
