How To Make Lemon Ginger Tea
- Slice the lemon and orange into slices. Give them a good squeeze over a large glass jar (like a mason jar) or bowl, then place inside.
- Dice ginger into small pieces, add to the glass jar.
- Add a tablespoon of honey to the jar.
- Heat up the water to boiling, then add to the jar. Using a long-handled spoon, give the mixture a good stir to help the honey dissolve.
- Allow to steep for five to ten minutes before drinking. Then enjoy!
Variations Of Lemon Ginger Tea
A dash of cayenne pepper gives this drink a spicy kick. I use this for myself, but not as much for my child as she simply won’t accept the spice- though if she did I would!
Other types of sweetener can be used instead of honey. Try stevia, maple syrup, agave syrup, or white sugar or brown sugar can also be used to sweeten this tea.
How Long Will This Tea Last?
You can store leftovers of this tea in the refrigerator for about 7 days. The tea can be rewarmed by straining it and heating it on the stove in a pot or in the microwave. You can also enjoy this tea cold.

What homemade teas helps to lower your blood pressure?
I can’t help you there Betsy, I’m sorry. You will need to talk to a medical professional for that advice.
How often can a two year old drink this tea in a day?
I don’t know of any reason a two year old can’t sip on a beverage like this several times a day from my research. I’ve read that younger babies raw ginger can occasionally cause a little bit of belly bloat if they chew on pieces of ginger, and a full piece as a choking hazard is also a concern. If my child was that young, I might consider straining the beverage before serving. I am not a medical professional though, so if you have concerns I suggest consulting a doctor. Hope that helps!
This is delicious! Thank you. Question…can it keep in the fridge or do you have to drink it straight away.
You’re very welcome Lizzie, I hope you enjoy! You can keep it in the fridge for a day or two, after that it may start to loose it’s fresh taste.
