Method
Add the sliced ginger and mint leaves to a teapot or heatproof cup. Pour over freshly boiled water and steep for 6–8 minutes. Stir in the lemon juice and honey, if using, just before serving. Add a lemon wheel for a fresh finishing touch.

For a stronger ginger flavour, gently simmer the ginger in water for 5 minutes before adding the mint. To make an iced version, allow the tea to cool and pour over ice with extra mint and lemon.
Caution
Ginger may interact with blood-thinning medicines when consumed in larger amounts. Mint may not suit everyone, particularly those who experience reflux. Use culinary quantities and seek professional advice if you take medication or have a health condition.
