Ingredients: 0.25 cup honey, or to taste; 1 lemon, juiced; 1 tablespoon finely grated ginger root; 0.25 teaspoon ground cinnamon; 3.5 cups boiling water

This honey ginger tea with lemon offers a tangy and soothing infusion, drawing inspiration from Indian, Egyptian, and Costa Rican traditions to help relieve common cold symptoms. Prepare a pot in the morning when you're feeling unwell and enjoy it throughout the day, reheating as needed. My husband and I always keep these ingredients available during the winter months. For kids, consider adding a touch of orange juice to cool it down.

0.25 cup honey, or to taste
1 lemon, juiced
1 tablespoon finely grated ginger root
0.25 teaspoon ground cinnamon
3.5 cups boiling water

Instructions

Gather all of your ingredients. Boil the water.
Combine honey, lemon juice, ginger, and cinnamon in a teapot or a 4-cup glass measuring beaker that has a spout. Pour boiling water over the mixture and stir until the honey has completely dissolved.
Cover the teapot and allow it to steep for approximately 5 minutes. The ginger will settle to the bottom, but you can strain it while pouring into your mug.
