Instructions

Making this mocktail is super simple! Follow these steps:

Boil Water: In a saucepan, boil 4 cups of water.

Notes

Honey Optional: I sometimes skip honey for a completely sugar-free version.
Spice Level: Adjust spice amounts to suit your taste—more ginger if you like extra kick!
Batch Prep: Make the tea base ahead and store in the fridge, then mix with tonic when you're ready.
