Ginger honey lemon tea is a simple hot infusion made by steeping fresh or dried ginger in water, then adding honey and lemon. It is a homemade preparation rather than a drink with one fixed regional recipe; the amount of ginger and the balance of sweetness and citrus vary from cup to cup.
People enjoy it in many places, often on a cool day or as a soothing-tasting alternative to black tea. Its flavour is bright and tart from the lemon, warming and slightly peppery from the ginger, with honey softening the edges. It is mostly water, with a little carbohydrate from the honey; a 100 g portion has 18 calories. Use less honey for a lighter, less sweet cup.
