2. Step-by-Step Preparation
Step 1: Prepare the ginger. Wash a small piece of ginger and cut it into two or three thin slices.
Step 2: Wash the mint. Rinse five or six fresh mint leaves under clean running water.
Step 3: Heat the water. Pour 500 ml of water into a saucepan and bring it to a gentle boil.
Step 4: Add the ginger. Reduce the heat and simmer the ginger slices for approximately five minutes.
Step 5: Add the mint. Turn off the heat, add the mint leaves, cover the pan, and allow the mixture to steep for another five minutes.
Step 6: Add the lemon. Allow the drink to cool slightly, then squeeze in the juice of half a lemon.
Step 7: Strain the mixture. Remove the ginger and mint using a clean strainer.
Step 8: Serve. Pour the infusion into a clean glass. Enjoy it warm or chilled.
Avoid adding sugar or honey if your goal is to reduce added sugar intake.
