Ingredients

3 litres purified water
3 large organic lemons
3 large cloves garlic
3 cm fresh ginger
Raw honey (optional, for serving)

Method

Choose organic lemons if possible, as the peel will be used during cooking.
In a large saucepan with a lid, cut each lemon in half, then cut each half into four pieces.
Add the lemon pieces to the saucepan and gently squeeze them as you add them.
Peel the garlic cloves and lightly crush them using the side of a knife.
Slice the ginger.
Add the garlic, ginger, and water to the saucepan.
Bring the mixture to a boil.
Reduce the heat, cover with a lid, and simmer gently for approximately 50 minutes.
Remove from the heat and allow the mixture to cool.
Strain through a colander into clean glass bottles or jars.

If you would like a sweeter flavour, add a little honey once the drink has cooled.

Storage

Store in the refrigerator for up to one week.

Serving Suggestions

Enjoy:

Warm
Chilled
Diluted with hot water
As part of your morning routine
In the evening as a comforting warm drink

A serving of approximately 1–5 dl works well, depending on your preference.

Nina's Tip

I love making a batch at the beginning of the week and storing it in glass bottles in the fridge. It makes it easy to enjoy throughout the week whenever I want something warm, refreshing, and homemade.

If serving warm, simply heat gently before drinking.
