Detoxing Homemade Lemon Ginger Tea is the perfect way to drink something both delicious and good for you.
“Where there’s tea there’s hope.” – Arthur Wing Pinero
I have always loved coffee. My great-aunt gave me a sip of hers when I was 6 years old. It had cream and sugar, so I thought it was just wonderful. I upgraded my drink of choice to a latte. Now that I’ve decided less is more, it was time to kiss my latte habit goodbye. Now I’ve turned to homemade lemon ginger tea throughout the day.

My favorite tea involves no bags. Just lemons, fresh ginger and stevia with hot water. That’s it. You’ll love it if you like lemons and ginger. It has a completely different taste than lemon ginger tea bags.

The health benefits to this drink are endless:
Lemon juice stimulates the liver and helps flush out toxins. It’s loaded with vitamin C and also has potassium and vitamin B6. Strengthening your immune system, improving hair, skin and teeth and preventing formation of crystals that cause kidney stones are just a few of the things drinking lemon juice can help your body with.
Ginger is also a powerhouse of health of its own. It reduces inflammation and pain in the body. We all could do with a little less inflammation, right? Another great health benefit is that it stimulates circulation. And everyone knows that it reduces nausea and vomiting on top of all that.
