Ginger drink with lemon and honey
A harmless folk remedy, ginger drink is often used for colds, headaches, muscle pain. It is not difficult to prepare if you use the classic recipe for which you will need.
Hello, dear readers. With the onset of cold weather, most of us begin to think about strengthening our immunity. Of course, this does not apply to us, we always remember this and try to remind our blog readers. We have already written a lot about this, we even organized a competition on this topic. So today we will touch on the topic of health and show you how to make a ginger-lemon mixture for immunity. I won’t say that we do it often, but at least once a year, usually in the fall, as we do now. Children just don’t like to drink such “hot” tea. After all, it burns afterwards, and I will not be mistaken if I say that all children will drink this tea without much enthusiasm. If at all of course there will be.
Usually we don’t adhere to special proportions in ingredients, but today we decided to show you in detail.
Ginger mixture for immunity ingredients
I won’t say that it’s in every home; not everyone likes or buys ginger. But this should be in every home, especially in the fall.
- Ginger root 100 - 150 grams
- Lemon 2 pieces (about 400 grams)
- Honey 400 grams
You can take other proportions, depending on what you will use this mixture for. We will make a ginger drink from this mixture to strengthen the immune system. First, let's prepare our ingredients for the mixture.
The ginger must be washed, dried, and all dried or spoiled parts must be trimmed. You can, of course, completely peel the ginger, which some people do. But we usually don’t do this, and this time we didn’t clean it. We still strain the drink before drinking.
We don’t just wash the lemon, but place it in boiling water for 2 minutes. Of course, you could peel it, but lemon skin contains a lot essential oil which we don't want to throw away. Many may object, because now many fruits are not processed very well useful substances, so that they are better stored.
That's why we put the lemon in boiling water for 2 minutes. Try it and see for yourself. After 2 minutes, the lemon becomes fragrant, and it smells like lemon, and not formaldehyde or any other chemical. And for some reason these lemons smelled like formaldehyde to me. I tried just pouring boiling water over the lemon, it didn’t help, I tried boiling water for 1 minute - the smell still remained. Only after 2 minutes the “extra” smell went away.
During this time, nothing will happen to the lemon, it will not cook and will not lose its useful properties, and we will get more vitamins.
When we have prepared the lemons and ginger, we need to chop it. This can be done by any means, the fastest are a meat grinder or a blender. Although I admit honestly, this is not so easy to do. For example, if using a blender, it is advised to immediately add honey, this will make it easier to grind.
Well, if you use a meat grinder, as I did, then you can install a large mesh, and it’s not a fact that you won’t have to clean the meat grinder, especially if the ginger is no longer fresh. The fibers clog the meat grinder so much that the juice does not come out through the mesh. I cleaned it myself.
Now you need to mix the resulting mixture with honey. We take an approximate amount equal to the resulting mixture. As you can see in the photo, we got a little more than 400 grams of the mixture; the photo shows the weight including the plate.
I did not add everything that was left in the meat grinder to the general mixture, I brewed tea separately and drank it with honey. In the photo it stands separately in a small plate. I drank this tea for almost two days. No one except me wanted to drink this bitter tea.
But this tea is already from our ginger-lemon mixture. Although this can no longer be called tea, but a drink. We just pour a tablespoon of the mixture into 0.5 liters warm water and leave to infuse. Not boiling water, but not more than 50 degrees. All this is explained by the presence of honey in the mixture.
I tried pouring boiling water over it, but I liked the drink more than the tea. And I liked it cold more than warm or hot. But if you need to warm up, you can drink a hot one. This mixture can also be added to tea. In general, the spiciness of the drink depends not on what kind of water you add, but on the infusion time.
I found it for you similar recipe on YouTube, where they grind and peel ginger.
After this magical mixture for immunity ends, after a short break, I will begin to further strengthen my health with nettle infusion. I wrote about him in the article “.”
