Ingredients
1 cup (240 ml) warm water
2 tablespoons (30 ml) fresh lemon juice (from half a lemon)
1 tablespoon (15 ml) raw honey
1 teaspoon (5 g) freshly grated ginger
Optional: 1 teaspoon (5 ml) guaraná extract (for a Brazilian energy boost) or a pinch of ground cinnamon
Instructions
Prepare the Water: Bring 1 cup of water to a boil in a small saucepan or kettle. Remove from heat and let it cool slightly to a warm temperature (about 110°F/43°C, comfortable to touch but not scalding).
Combine Ingredients: In a heat-safe glass or mug, add the lemon juice, raw honey, and grated ginger.
Mix the Drink: Pour the warm water over the ingredients. Stir gently with a spoon until the honey fully dissolves, about 30 seconds.
Add Optional Flavors: If using, stir in the guaraná extract for an energizing Brazilian twist or a pinch of cinnamon for a warm, spicy note.
Garnish and Serve: Garnish with a lemon slice or a sprig of fresh mint for a vibrant presentation. Serve immediately while warm, or chill in the refrigerator for 10-15 minutes for a refreshing cold version.
Notes
Fresh Ingredients: Use freshly squeezed lemon juice and grated ginger for maximum flavor and health benefits. Bottled lemon juice or ground ginger may lack the same vibrancy.
Honey Substitution: Swap honey with agave nectar for a vegan option, or use maple syrup for a different flavor profile.
Guaraná Availability: Guaraná extract can be found in health food stores or online. If unavailable, try a splash of acerola juice for a Brazilian vitamin C boost.
Storage: Best consumed fresh, but you can store the drink in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours. Stir well before serving.
Variation: For a fizzy twist, replace half the water with sparkling water and serve over ice for a summer-ready drink.
Pro Tip: Grate the ginger directly into the glass to capture its natural oils, enhancing the drink’s aroma and potency.
