Ingredients
1-inch piece fresh ginger, peeled and thinly sliced or roughly chopped
6-8 whole cloves
2 cups water
Optional: 1-2 sprigs fresh mint for garnish
Optional: 1 tablespoon lemon juice
Optional: 1 teaspoon honey or maple syrup, to taste
Instructions
Begin by preparing your ginger. Take a 1-inch piece of fresh ginger root. Using a spoon or a vegetable peeler, carefully peel the skin from the ginger. Once peeled, you can either thinly slice it into rounds or roughly chop it into smaller pieces. The goal is to expose more surface area to the water for better infusion.
Gather your whole cloves. You will need 6 to 8 whole cloves. Ensure they are fresh and fragrant for the best flavor and potency.
In a small saucepan, combine the prepared ginger slices or chopped ginger with the whole cloves.
Pour 2 cups of fresh, cold water into the saucepan with the ginger and cloves.
Place the saucepan on your stovetop over medium-high heat. Bring the water to a gentle boil.
