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
- ¼ cup fresh lemon juice (from about 2 lemons)
- 3 tbsp maple syrup, plus more to taste
Ingredient noteAIP restricts added sweeteners, but small occasional amounts of unrefined maple syrup are accepted on the protocol; the ~2 1/4 teaspoons per serving here likely stays within that limited allowance. If you prefer to always avoid maple syrup, please tap it and change its rating to Red.
For serving
- ice cubes, for serving
- lemon slices, for serving (optional)
- fresh mint sprigs, for serving (optional)
