Notes

  • Fresh lemon juice provides the brightest flavor.
  • Start with a smaller amount of ginger if you prefer a milder taste.
  • Avoid adding honey to boiling water; slightly cooled warm water helps preserve its natural flavor.
  • Store leftovers in a sealed container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days and stir well before serving.
  • Honey should not be given to infants under 1 year of age due to the risk of infant botulism.
  • This recipe is intended as a flavorful homemade beverage and should not be considered a medical treatment or remedy.
