Prepare the ginger: Cut or grate the ginger into fine pieces. The smaller the pieces, the more flavor and benefits you will get from infusing.
Squeeze the lemon: Squeeze the juice from the lemon and set aside.
Infuse the ginger: Place the ginger in the hot water in a cup. Let it steep for 5–10 minutes. This allows the water to absorb the ginger compounds.
Strain the mixture: Use a strainer to remove the ginger pieces from the water.
Add the honey and lemon: Add the honey and lemon juice to the hot ginger water and stir until the honey is completely dissolved.
Serving: Drink the mixture while it is still hot for maximum soothing effect.
