Ginger-lemon drink
A simple and very tasty drink can be prepared based on lemon and chamomile. A ginger-lemon drink at home with chamomile and spices will be useful, not just tasty. Interestingly, this chamomile lemonade will be relevant to use not only in winter but also in summer. The drink is good both hot and cold. In winter, lemonade can be consumed like tea, and in summer – as a refreshing drink.
The set of spices can be selected to your taste: some spices can be excluded, while others can be added. Instead of dry ginger powder, fresh root can be used, cleaned, and grated. The quantity can also be adjusted to your taste.

- 2 lemons;
- 5 g star anise;
- 2 cinnamon sticks;
- honey — to taste;
- 2 tbsp dried chamomile;
- 1 tsp ground dry ginger.
Preparation
- Prepare the ingredients for the ginger-lemon drink. You can enhance the taste of the drink by replacing one lemon with an orange.
- In a pot, pour water, add chamomile and spices.
- Squeeze the juice from the lemons. Cut the peel of one lemon.
- Add the peel to the pot and put the pot on the fire. Set aside the juice from the lemons for now. Bring the contents of the pot to a boil, boil for 3 minutes, then turn off the heat. Cover the pot and let the drink steep.
- When the drink has cooled down a bit (but is still warm), add the honey and dissolve it. We do not add honey to the hot drink, as at high temperatures, the beneficial substances in honey are destroyed.
- For the same reasons, we also add the lemon juice to the already cooled lemonade.
- Now strain the drink through a colander to get rid of the larger ingredients.
- Here is what we have obtained.
- Strain a second time through a sieve to remove the small particles.
- The ginger-lemon drink at home with chamomile and spices is ready. Pour it into bottles or jars and consume it hot or cold.
