I learned way more from the comments. Thank you peeps.

[@darlingeloise672]

This way is too weak for GINGER TEA, that's ginger flavoured water. For REAL Ginger Tea, you boil peeled ginger (small chunks or thin slices) for approx. 15 mins, remove from burner, let it seep for about 2 - 3 mins, then strain it as you pour it into a cup. The longer you boil it and let it sit, the stronger it gets. I put peeled ginger (chopped into small chunks or slices) in a freezer bag and freeze it. It's great when you're not feeling well (indigestion, cold or flu), you can put a fistful in the pot to make tea without having to stop to peel or chop. NEVER boil honey, add it after you've strained the tea into a cup if desired. If your drinking it for indigestion, DO NOT add honey. For cold/flu or just to enjoy, add honey & lemon after its strained.

[@salma_Nella22]

Honey has been proven to help with indigestion unless you have diabetes. Diabetes is the only exception

[@heatherluna5075]

Yes, never boil honey. How could they not know this?

[@keithdouglas9848]

Totally agree, never ever boil honey! Also let the tea sit for at least four minutes after its been boiled before you consume it. Then add honey if you wish..

[@shek9]

Thank you!

[@rev9662]

how much ginger per cup do you recommend?

[@AlexGarcia-ew2fv]

I've been taking 2 ginger capsules daily for 1 year n my health n mood has become 100% better from all 4 corners

[@elseeadams]

Years ago I learned from my Indian Guru to NEVER put honey into boiling water/tea etc because boiling water destroys certain enzymes in the honey. Just let your tea or other beverage sit a couple of minutes before adding the honey. I think it's just one of those things that once you've learned you can't unlearn.

[@jasmeeitrakesh8606]

It's true .

[@gayleh3688]

Yes! I just learned this from Dr Mandell.Very true

[@killjoyxvi]

You sound so proud that you've learned something so valuable, when in fact you just accepted it to be the truth because it came from a "guru." Maybe it's just me, but before I believe in anything, I try to verify first if it is supported by science and research...

[@duckmanjoel]

@@killjoyxvi heat destroys enzymes. BOOM! Don't heat your honey!

[@killjoyxvi]

@@duckmanjoel Point me to a scientifically supported research confirming this. I'll wait

[@CalmVibesVee]

Ginger is gold. I have severe digestion issues - fasting and ginger tea helps. Organic only. ✨✨

[@karinlarsen4251]

Try kefir awful diseases result that start with indigestion. I hope you can get on top of it

[@CalmVibesVee]

@@karinlarsen4251 yes. Been taking strained homemade kefir most days for 10wks.

[@lady33357]

People wash your ginger. If you buy it from the store and its not organic take the skin off. Do not add honey to the pot.Boil for along time, perhaps 20-30 min's

[@kirkyardley761]

We’re literally boiling the ginger here. I think it’ll be okay. Most of the nutrients are in the skin from what I understand.

[@wbrown94]

​@@kirkyardley761 I peeled mine to expose the ginger so the nutrients can seep into the water, and I also threw the peels in there 👍

[@NeoNeoza]

i like ginger so much. I also enjoy ginger shots

[@angelaloving1492]

I love love love ginger tea with 🍋 lemon!

[@brendasykes-tucker3469]

Me too., my afternoon tea👌🏾😋😋

[@tombreezy308]

Thanks for your help Sir and God bless you all

[@missunderstood2109]

Lol the ginger brings out the red heads

[@razial5745]

I use a cheese grate and shread the ginger and garlic into a cup, then pour the hot boiling water into cup and let sit for 5 minutes. Then filter it to a fresh cup. Last I add honey and lemon. It's an amazing drink.

[@CalmVibesVee]

After you peel it, put in blender with hot water, blend and strain. Freeze this concentrate in ice trays or mini mason jars for each week. I freeze the pulp separately to use in recipes.

[@jimmorrison3830]

Listen get your favorite tea bag boiling water a piece of Ginger the size of the tip of your finger peel it chop it up put it in your tea & drink. Now As you're drinking your tea make sure you get some of that Ginger in your mouth. As soon as you bite into a little piece of Ginger your whole body is gonna get hot Sip some more tea to cool your mouth down And then repeat until it's all gone your body will get super hot and that's what you want. I recommend 30 straight days of this. Your lungs your blood will thank you. That was easy.

[@kzywais3871]

Thank you so much for this home remedy ginger tea sir

Add honey and lemon after boiling ginger, to preserve nutrition

[@ShirlySaintz888]

I make my own GINGER water. I add 1 tbsp/cup of coffee & 1/4 tsp. of TURMERIC w/B. PEPPER. I have grown fond of the taste.

Thanks.

[@jailouiseify]

Really enjoy drinking ginger tea with crystallized ginger slices, honey and squeezed lemon of which I also add lemon peels. While drinking my tea I do eat the ginger slices and lemon peels. Loving the steam it gives with the flavor of the combination. Cayenne pepper will be a new and improved personal challenge that I'm down for

[@anuraagbarde]

Don't boil the honey! it will get converted into poison, instead add just before serving.

[@PRINCECHINOTV]

good drink!!!

[@jalaramkrupa562]

Delicious Chai . . .

[@jamesm6898]

Nice I like this very good advice

[@nilkhan265]

You would lose benefit of honey if you boil it. Never put honey in boiling water, put it when water cools down a little, before drinking.

[@15HunnetBlockGoon]

He didn't even give time for the ginger to boil and marinate before putting honey In there. He just did it right away.

[@nivaanpamsi197]

I agree

[@killjoyxvi]

Says who? Is this claim backed by science? Please point me to a reliable scientific source that supports this claim

[@seachers6124]

You can crush it . It will steep quicker and you don't need to peel it .

You boil it with the ginger or you out the stick cinnamon once is done boiling

These guys should have a guest from Ethiopia to teach them how to make Real ginger tea.

[@jennygibbons1258]

The skin is most nutrient dense part of most growing things and shouldn’t be peeled if possible.

[@virtuous_women_ofgod]

I concur

Does it taste bad? Bitter?

[@baldnblack3664]

@@CalmVibesVee not at all, also great just keeping it in my mouth, breath saving, your welcome

[@abhinavrajesh2464]

Not for ginger. Ginger should always be used only after peeling.

[@uwadiegwuemmanuel8809]

Please don't you ever boil Honey.Keep lemon not too Hot.Correct the mistake please.

[@oldsingingstudentdougbillf1665]

If you enjoy honey for it’s nutritional value, you should not add honey to a hot drink. The hot water kills almost nutrients in the honey making it essentially straight sugar. You can have a teaspoon of honey…honey ON THE SPOON…take a bit of the honey in you mouth, swallow…and then sip your hot tea. As for lemons even though I love them…they are a severe diuretic to me. Leg cramps and all no matter how much water I drink. So, I drink straight ginger tea with honey on the side…no lemon.

[@talulatree5297]

I like that idea, honey on the spoon only.❤

How about cleanliness by washing the ginger? Honey should be added before drinking not boil in.just my opinion.

[@rich-dd9pu]

yes you are right, do not boil honey. it has to be mixed from the juice before drinking. honey becomes a bit toxic once boiled.

[@sashilemla6229]

Too much of unnecessary talking is making the video worthless

[@grovertroutman4686]

People don't know the reef you spice up every meal it keeps you healthy if you're wanting to know how do I do that you just put Cayenne garlic ginger whatever but as long as it's a warm to hot spice and then you just try little bits and pretty soon you'll be eating a lot more than you used to we should have been doing this all human life I try to eat buy seafood NADA hot pepper just alone but spicy food even on cereal thank you

Honey should be the last step.

[@evelynbaitz2732]

The way they cook it is so wrong. You should smash the ginger before you throw them in the boiling water. Let it seeps and then after you take it off the heat, let it cool a bit then add the honey and lime. You don't want to add honey in hot boiling water, it'll destroy all the good enzymes from the honey.

[@newlife3222]

You never add lemon to hot water
