Fresh Ginger Lemon Cinnamon Tea.

This anti-inflammatory ginger lemon cinnamon tea recipe contains vitamins and antioxidants that help improve overall health and boost the immune system.

This easy wellness infusion keeps me, and my family recharged and prepared for cold and flu season or any other bug that might be going around. Ginger, lemon, and cinnamon are all ingredients that have been used for centuries for their medicinal properties. I love to use them to make these shots or fire cider.

Every ingredient in this ginger lemon tea is loaded with health benefits. Combined into tea, they create a potent blend you can enjoy throughout the week. You can also turn these ingredients into cold-infused water. While I enjoy making immune-boosting and herbal teas with echinacea , elderberries or blackberries, they are seasonal. But ginger and cinnamon are always in my pantry, regardless of season.

Cinnamon Lemon ginger tea Ingredients

Ginger

Fresh ginger root is stronger and has a more intense flavor than dried ginger powder.

Look for roots that are firm, smooth, and free from wrinkles. I always go to a small grocery shop owned by Rajeev in the corner of our small town. They have the freshest produce.

Lemon

If you like to include a lemon peel and juices, select organic lemons, free from harmful pesticides and chemicals.

Cinnamon

Use Ceylon cinnamon (or “true”) rather than cassia cinnamon. Ceylon has a sweeter, milder flavor and lower levels of coumarin, which can be toxic in high doses. 

I prefer to use sticks rather than ground cinnamon. You can steep them in hot water along with the ginger and lemon. Ground cinnamon is better to add after steeping. Start with a small amount of cinnamon and adjust to your taste preferences.

Honey (optional)

If you use honey in your tea, use raw, unprocessed honey for its higher nutrient content and potential health benefits. Add a touch of honey to the tea after steeping the other ingredients, when the tea is warm rather than hot, as high heat can destroy the beneficial properties of raw honey.

How to make cinnamon ginger tea with lemon.

First step: prepare the ginger and lemon

Peel the ginger skin off using a vegetable peeler or knife. Then, make ginger slices or use a grater to make grated ginger. Finally, rinse and slice the lemon.

Second step: add two cinnamon sticks, ginger and lemon slices into a saucepan and bring it to a boil.

Combine the sliced ginger, lemon slices, cinnamon sticks, and water in a saucepan. Bring to a boil, reduce the heat to low, and let the tea simmer for 10-15 minutes. Simmering allows the flavors of ginger and cinnamon to infuse into the water.

Third step: Strain it

Remove from heat and let the tea cool for a few minutes. Then, strain the tea using a fine-mesh strainer to remove the ginger, lemon pulp, lemon seeds, and cinnamon pieces. 

Fourth step: Add the honey and lemon juice

Add the juice of lemon and honey to taste, if desired. Pour the tea into cups and enjoy!

Variations of ginger cinnamon tea recipe

Add a pinch of turmeric for an extra boost of antioxidants and anti-inflammatory properties. 

Brew a cup of green tea with ginger, cinnamon, and a slice of lemon. This tea will provide you with the benefits of green tea, which is high in antioxidants, while the ginger and cinnamon add a spicy kick, and the lemon adds a refreshing citrus flavor.

Instead of lemon, add a slice of orange for a different flavor. The orange adds a sweet and slightly tangy taste to the tea, while the ginger and cinnamon provide warmth and spiciness.

Best tips and tricks for cinnamon, lemon, and ginger tea

• Depending on how strong you like your tea, you can adjust the ratio of water to ingredients. For a stronger tea, use less water, and for a milder tea, use more water.
• Whenever possible, use fresh ingredients for the best flavor and health benefits. Fresh ginger root, cinnamon sticks, and lemons will give your tea a more vibrant flavor.
• Reuse the ingredients, keep them in your saucepan and top them up with another 3 cups of water for a second batch of immune tea.

Can I use ground cinnamon for this healthy drink?

While cinnamon powder can release its flavor faster than stick, it doesn’t last and disappear. I prefer using sticks that release their flavor over a longer period. If you only have ground cinnamon on hand, it’s best to add it as a final touch so you can fully savor its taste upon serving.

Can I drink this cinnamon and ginger tea at night?

This recipe is a potent anti-inflammatory and caffeine-free beverage. In addition, having this soothing ginger and cinnamon beverage helps you relax the muscles and aid digestion.
