Soothing Lemon Ginger and Honey Drink Recipe

A simple Lemon Ginger & Honey hot drink. A soothing, AIP-friendly immune drink you can keep in the fridge for quick relief for colds, sore throat, or low-energy days.
Prep Time 10 minutes

Equipment

  • cutting board
  • teaspoon or tablespoon
  • sharp kitchen knife
  • wide mouth glass jar with lid (large enough to use a stick blender in it, but not too wide)
  • lemon squeezer (or just press it out by hand)
  • immersion blender

Ingredients
  

  • 1 large lemon (or 2 small lemons)
  • 2 thumb sized pieces of ginger
  • 1 tablespoon honey
  • hot water

Instructions
 

  • Wash your lemon and cut it in thick slices. Squeeze all the juice into a wide mouth glass jar. Make sure to remove all lemon pips.
  • Peel the ginger and slice it into 1/4 inch sized pieces. Add it to the jar of lemon juice.
  • Add 1 tablespoon of honey to the jar.
  • If you don't have enough liquid in the jar to blitz it, add a little bit of hot water. Just enough so you can blend everything. Less water is better.
  • Blend everything until the ginger is shredded into tiny pieces.
  • Add 2 tablespoons of the mixture into a cup and add hot water. Sip and Enjoy! Stir while drinking as the pieces will settle in the bottom.
