Wash the lemons thoroughly.
Peel and slice the ginger into thin rounds.
Slice the lemons, removing any seeds.
Step 2: Simmer
Add the ginger, lemon slices, and water to a saucepan.
Bring to a gentle boil, then reduce the heat and simmer for 15–20 minutes.
This allows the flavors to infuse into the water.
Step 3: Blend (Optional)
For a thicker drink with more fiber, allow the mixture to cool slightly, then blend until smooth.
If you prefer a lighter drink, skip this step.
Step 4: Strain
Pour the mixture through a fine mesh strainer if desired.
This removes the larger pieces of ginger and lemon.
Step 5: Sweeten
Once the drink has cooled to warm (not hot), stir in honey if you like a sweeter flavor.
Step 6: Store
Pour into clean glass jars or bottles.
Refrigerate and enjoy within 3–4 days.
