  • Measuring spoons
  • Citrus juicer

Ingredients

  • 1 tablespoon raw honey

  • 1/2 cup seltzer or sparkling water
  • orange slice optional, for garnish

  • extra honey or grated ginger optional, to taste

Instructions

  • Grate the ginger. In a teapot or saucepan, combine ginger and hot water. Steep for 5–10 minutes.

Use raw honey for a deeper flavor. Taste as you go and adjust sweetness or spice. For a less intense ginger flavor, use less or steep for less time. Great for soothing and refreshing, hot or iced.
