Orange Ginger Infusion

Author: Flavelo
Recipes Vegetarian & Vegan Dishes Drinks
When your throat tickles or the chills set in, this tea is your best friend. The heat of ginger (gingerol) warms you up and stimulates circulation, while citrus oils and acids refresh. This isn't a tea bag situation; it's a decoction, where we extract potent compounds from hard spices through slow simmering.

Ingredients

Equipment Needed

  • Small saucepan
  • Strainer
  • Sharp knife

Instructions

1 ✓

Wash the ginger and slice thinly (no need to grate). Wash the orange and cut a few slices, peel included.

Tip: Slicing keeps the brew clearer than grating, which can make it cloudy with fibers.
2 ✓

Place ginger, broken cinnamon stick, and cloves in water. Bring to a boil.

Tip: Hard spices (ginger, cinnamon) need time to release their flavor.
3 ✓

Simmer gently for 10 minutes.

Tip: Slow simmering extracts flavor compounds.
4 ✓

Add the orange slices and simmer for another 5 minutes.

Tip: Add orange at the end so heat doesn't completely destroy fresh aromas and Vitamin C.
5 ✓

Remove from heat, cover, and let steep for 5 minutes.

Tip: Flavors meld during this rest.
6 ✓

Strain, and once it cools to drinkable temperature (approx. 140°F), stir in the honey.

Tip: Boiling water destroys valuable enzymes in honey.

Recipe FAQ

Why peel the ginger?
Not mandatory if it's organic and scrubbed well. The skin has flavor but can add an earthy note.
Too spicy!
Ginger's strength grows with boiling time. Simmer less next time, or use less ginger.
