Ginger Infused Water
Ginger Water has a clean, refreshing, citrus taste that reminds me of the sparkling feel of fresh lemony and green all at the same time!
That lovely essence that wafts through the air can flavor your water too. No point in wasting all that delicious flavor when your water could be infusing the benefit!

Here’s What You’ll Need:

Since this isn’t a health site, I’ll go with the known items about ginger. It’s a terrific source of nutrients and besides that, it tastes GREAT!
Look at the knob, does it seem plump and without wrinkles? That is a sign of freshness.
Because you will be peeling the ginger, there is no need to wash it first unless you see physical dirt on the ginger.
You can, but I wouldn’t recommend it. It’s pretty strong to bite into.
Remove the ginger after 4 hours. The water will last for a few days in the fridge.
Absolutely yes! Just understand that you’ll want to make smaller quantities because the bubbles leave the water pretty quickly.

When in Amsterdam on a cold day, I stopped in a tea shop and ordered hot ginger tea. The ginger was sliced long and thin and steeped in hot water. Delicious. I’ll have to send you a picture. My friend had hot mint tea. Just a whole wad of mint in boiling water.

These flavored waters are interesting. There's no sweetness really to them, or very little. Kind of an acquired taste, to be sure. But I know from drinking the waters that the stylists make in Sandy's salon that they can be quite good and a little addicting!
