Ginger-Lemon Tea

This dynamic duo shines in tea too. Steep an inch of fresh ginger and a teaspoon of lemon juice in boiling water. Enhance with mint or a touch of honey for natural sweetness. Enjoy it hot or chilled as iced tea.

Pro Tip: Storing Ginger Long-Term

Ginger roots are often used in small amounts. For optimal freshness, freeze it whole. Grate directly from frozen when needed—no waste, maximum flavor.
