Ingredients You Will Need

2 cups water
1 tablespoon fresh ginger grated
4 whole cloves
1 teaspoon honey optional
1 teaspoon fresh lemon juice optional
These ingredients create a warm herbal drink with a pleasant flavor and natural aroma.
Step by Step Method
Start by washing the fresh ginger under clean running water. Peel the outer skin gently using a spoon or small knife.
Grate the ginger using a fine grater until you have about one tablespoon of fresh ginger.
Place two cups of water into a small pot and place it on medium heat.
Add the grated ginger into the water.
Add the whole cloves to the pot as well.
Allow the mixture to heat until it begins to gently boil.
Once it starts boiling reduce the heat and allow it to simmer for about ten minutes.
During this time the ginger and cloves will release their flavor and aroma into the water.
After ten minutes turn off the heat and allow the drink to rest for two minutes.
Place a small strainer over a cup and carefully pour the liquid through the strainer to remove the ginger pieces and cloves.
If you prefer a sweeter taste you can add a teaspoon of honey.
You can also add a small amount of fresh lemon juice for a refreshing flavor.
