Equipment

  • 1 blender
  • 1 Cutting Board
  • 1 knife
  • 16 oz glass jar

Ingredients
  

  • 3 medium Organic lemons
  • 8-10 inches Organic Ginger root
  • 1.5-2 cups Raw local honey

Instructions
 

  • Using a sharp knife, cut off the skin of the lemon, making sure not to cut too much of the lemon, just the skin. This will make it easier for your blender to get an even consistency. Then, using the tip of a spoon, scratch off the skin of the ginger root. If you prefer, you can also cut off the skin using a paring knife. Next, add the ginger, lemon, and honey into a blender.

  • Turn on the blender at high speed until all the ingredients are processed and smooth. Feel free to do a taste test at this point and adjust to your preference if you want more of a kick, add more ginger if you need a little more sweetness, add in some more honey.

  • Prepare a glass jar by either sterilizing or washing it with soap in hot water, making sure it's clean and won't promote rotting. Pour in your blended lemon, ginger, honey concentrate and cover with a lid, and store in the refrigerator.

Notes

Storage Recommendation:

The lemon juice in this Lemon ginger tea concentrate acts as a natural preservative. I have kept it in the fridge for more than a week and it did not spoil.
If you would like to store it for a longer period then pour the concentrate into an ice mold and freeze it until the lemon ginger is solid then store it in a freezer zip bag until ready to use. Then just pop one or two cubes into boiling water and enjoy just as the fresh one.
