Method
- Prepare Water: Heat the water until hot but not boiling.

- Steep Tea and Ginger: If using green tea, steep the tea bag and ginger in the hot water for 3–4 minutes.

- Add Ingredients: Stir in lemon juice, honey, and apple cider vinegar (if using).

- Mix and Enjoy: Stir gently and enjoy warm. For a chilled version, allow it to cool and serve over ice.

- Optional – Brazilian Variation: For a color-changing Brazilian twist, steep butterfly pea flowers in the water, blend with lime, ginger, and a pinch of pink Himalayan salt. Add soaked chia seeds and top with cinnamon for extra benefits.

Notes
- Storage: Store leftover tea in the fridge for up to 3 days and reheat gently.
- Flavor Variations: You can swap lemon for orange or add spices like cinnamon or turmeric for added flavor and benefits.
- Cold Brew Option: For a refreshing iced version, steep the ingredients in cold water for 6+ hours and strain.
- To Protect Tooth Enamel: If using apple cider vinegar, always dilute it and drink through a straw.
