Ginger Water (easy, cozy, and refreshing)
Ingredients
1–2 inches fresh ginger root
2–3 cups water
Optional: lemon slice, honey, or a pinch of cinnamon
How to make it
Prep the ginger: Rinse well. You can peel it, but you don’t have to. Slice or grate it.
Simmer: Add ginger + water to a small pot. Bring to a boil, then lower heat and simmer 10–15 minutes (longer = stronger).
Strain & sip: Strain into a mug or bottle.
Flavor it (optional): A squeeze of lemon or a little honey is 👌.
Cold version (great for a bottle in your bag)
Make the hot version first, let it cool, then refrigerate.
Or steep sliced ginger in cold water in the fridge for 8–12 hours.
Tips
Want it milder? Use less ginger or steep for 5–8 minutes.
Want it spicier? Add more ginger or simmer up to 20 minutes.
Keeps in the fridge 2–3 days.
If you want, I can tailor a version for mornings (gentle) or workouts (extra zing).
