Homemade ginger drinks – warming and refreshing

Ginger is a real superfood – it has anti-inflammatory effects, soothes sore throats, strengthens immunity, improves digestion and adds energy. These two drinks are not only healthy, but also exceptionally tasty and easy to prepare – perfect for any season.

Ingredients (for 1 liter of drink):
✅ 1 liter of water (preferably filtered) 💧
✅ a piece of fresh ginger (approx. 5 cm) 🫚
✅ juice from 1 freshly squeezed lemon 🍋
✅ 2 tablespoons of natural honey (optionally, you can use maple or date syrup) 🍯
1. Ginger infusion – warming and soothing.
Perfect for autumn and winter evenings, for colds, sore throats or as a natural immunity booster.

Preparation method:

1. Boil water: Boil 1 liter of water in a pot.

2. Prepare the ginger: Wash the ginger thoroughly (no need to peel it if it is organic), then cut into thin slices or chop it finely.

3. Infusing: Add ginger to boiling water, reduce heat and simmer for about 5–10 minutes – the longer, the more intense the flavour.
4. Strain and enrich: Strain the infusion through a sieve. Add lemon juice and honey, stir until dissolved.

5. Serving: Drink warm – it warms up perfectly and brings relief. Can be stored in a thermos for several hours.

2. Ginger water – refreshing and stimulating
Light, citrusy, with a delicate ginger sharpness – great as a natural detox drink, ideal for summer or after training.
