Ginger Tea Recipe for Acid Reflux
A soothing ginger tea recipe for acid reflux, made with fresh ginger, lemon, and honey for gentle, natural digestive comfort.
Equipment
- 1 medium pot or saucepan
- 1 grater or knife
- 1 tea strainer
- 1 Measuring cup
- 1 mug or teacup
Ingredients
(For 2 cups — reflux-friendly base)
- 2 ½ cups water
- 1 teaspoon fresh ginger root grated (about a thumb-length piece)
- 1 teaspoon sugar honey, or maple syrup (add after steeping)
- ½ teaspoon fresh lemon juice optional, add at the end
Instructions
Prepare the Ginger
- Wash, peel, and grate fresh ginger. Thin slices also work if you prefer a milder flavor.
Simmer the Ginger
- In a medium pot, bring 2 ½ cups of water to a gentle boil. Add the grated ginger. Reduce to low heat and simmer for 8 minutes to release the soothing compounds.
Steep & Strain
- Turn off the heat, cover the pot, and let it steep for 2 minutes. Strain the tea into cups using a tea strainer.
Finish & Serve
- Stir in lemon juice and sweetener only after steeping to preserve the delicate flavor and avoid bitterness. Serve warm and enjoy slowly.
- For reflux: use only a small amount of lemon or omit it entirely if you are sensitive.
Notes
Mild Version: Shorten simmering time to 5 minutes for a gentler flavor.
Stronger Version: Increase simmering to 12 minutes, then dilute with warm water to taste.
With Milk (Indian Style): Simmer ginger in water for 6–8 minutes, then add 1 cup milk and simmer gently for 2 minutes. Do not combine lemon with milk.
Lemon & Honey Version: Add lemon juice and honey after steeping, not during cooking.
Storage: Brewed ginger tea can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 48 hours. Reheat gently before serving.
