Prep Time 3 minutes

Cook Time 10 minutes

Total Time 13 minutes

Ingredients

1-inch fresh ginger, peeled and thinly sliced
2 teaspoons dried dandelion root
2 dried cloves
squeeze of lemon
honey, agave, or organic liquid stevia to taste

Instructions

Place the peeled ginger slices into a tea cup.
Add the dandelion root and cloves to a tea infuser and place in a tea cup.
Pour boiling water over and give the infuser a jiggle to get it going. Place a small saucer on top of the cup to help keep the heat in, and allow to steep for 10 minutes.
Remove the infuser ball, and stir in lemon and honey to taste.

Notes

If you don't have a tea infuser, simmer the ginger, dandelion root, and cloves with 2 cups of water in a small saucepan for 7 minutes. Strain the solids through a fine mesh sieve into a tea cup.

Dried dandelion can be found in the bulk herbs and spices section of some natural foods stores (I found it at Lassen's in Goleta, CA). You can also order it online.

A cinnamon stick is a nice addition to this tea.
