⭐ How to Make Refreshing Ginger Water
1. Prepare the Ginger
Peel the fresh ginger root and slice it into thin coins. Thinner slices release more flavor and aroma.
2. Heat the Water
Pour the water into a small saucepan and bring it to a gentle boil over medium heat.
3. Infuse
Add the ginger slices to the boiling water. Reduce heat to low and simmer for 5–7 minutes, depending on how strong you prefer the flavor.
4. Strain & Finish
Remove from heat and strain out the ginger slices. Add lemon peel, sweetener, or cinnamon if using.
5. Serve
Enjoy warm for a soothing drink, or let cool and refrigerate for a refreshing chilled version.
💡 Flavor & Strength Tips
- Simmer 5 minutes for mild warmth, 7 minutes for a stronger ginger kick
- Avoid boiling aggressively to keep flavor clean and smooth
- Lemon peel adds aroma without adding carbs or acidity
