Ingredients

2 servings

2 cups water
1-inch piece fresh ginger, thinly sliced
2 tbsp dried peppermint leaves
2 tbsp fresh lemon juice (from about 1 lemon)
1–2 tsp lemon zest
1–2 tsp honey, or to taste
Chef's tip
Use the same amount. Maple syrup is a little thinner and less sticky than honey.

For serving

2 thin lemon slices, for serving (optional)

Instructions

1
Combine the water, sliced ginger, and lemon zest in a small saucepan. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat, then reduce the heat to low and simmer for 5 minutes, until the liquid is fragrant and lightly golden.
2
Remove the saucepan from the heat. Add the dried peppermint leaves and steep for 5 minutes, until the tea is deeply aromatic and pale green.
