4 servings
For the tea
- 6 cup water
- 4 black tea bags
- 1 oz fresh ginger (about a 2-inch piece), peeled and thinly sliced
Ingredient noteLow residue diets limit whole fruits, roots, and botanicals that add fiber. The fresh ginger here is infused and then strained out, leaving virtually no residue, so it is likely low residue. If you prefer to always avoid fresh ginger, please tap it and change its rating to Red.
- ¼ cup maple syrup
- 3 tbsp fresh lemon juice (from about 2 lemons)
Ingredient noteFruit juice contains far less fiber than whole fruit, so the lemon juice used here leaves little residue. If you prefer to always avoid lemon juice, please tap it and change its rating to Red.
