About the Recipe

This lemon ginger honey tea is a soothing Ayurvedic digestive tea traditionally used to support agni (digestive fire) and gentle digestion. Fresh ginger stimulates the digestive fire, while lemon adds brightness and helps encourage healthy digestive function. A small amount of honey adds natural sweetness and helps carry the warming qualities of ginger throughout the body. In Ayurveda, simple herbal teas like this are often enjoyed between meals to support digestion, reduce heaviness, and encourage natural balance in the body.

Ingredients

juice of 1/2 a lemon

1/2 inch of shredded or sliced ginger

1 1/2 cups water

1 teaspoon of honey

Preparation

Boil the ginger in the water for 5 minutes. Add the lemon and honey after removing from the heat. Stir and enjoy!

This Lemon Ginger Honey Tea can be enjoyed by those with a predominance of vata and kapha in their constitution and those with a vata or kapha imbalance.

Those with a predominance of pitta in their constitution or a pitta imbalance should use this Lemon Ginger Honey Tea with caution. Notice if it produces excess heat and discontinue use if it does.
