How to make lemon & ginger honey tea

For various reasons, more and more people are choosing to start the day with a caffeine free hot drink, or trying to cut down on the amount of coffee they drink during the day.
A simple honey drink with lemon and ginger can make a great alternative to coffee or tea and can provide some amazing health benefits too!
Ginger can loosen and help relieve the mucus from your respiratory system, while lemons are high in vitamin C and contain various beneficial plant compounds. Combined with sweet honey we think this makes a just as effective morning 'wake up' as tea or coffee and the perfect way to start your day!
To make Lemon & Ginger Honey drink, you will need:
- 2 teaspoons of Just Bee Vitamin Honey with Lemon and Ginger
- A mug of hot (not boiling!) water
Method:
Simply stir 2 teaspoons into a mug of hot water!
Please note: It's important not to use boiling water as this can destroy the vitamins and natural nutrients in our honey.
The easiest method is to catch the kettle and turn it off before it comes to the boil at the first signs of steam coming out of the spout. That will make the water around 75 – 85c which will be perfect. It also means you won't have to wait so long to drink it!
If you inadvertently let the kettle boil, just pour some out into your mug and let it cool for a few minutes before stirring the honey in. It will cool much quicker in a cold mug than leaving it in the hot kettle.
Enjoy!

I’m loving my honey I have just purchased. I have it in my porridge every morning. I just tried the lavender one before going to bed; haven’t noticed I sleep any better yet but maybe early days🤞

After having a virus I went off coffee so started making hot drinks daily with lemon and ginger honey. It is delicious and I really enjoy it.

Hi Joe. The sleep honey has been fabulous for me. I have been using it for quite some time but recently I forgot to take it and I slept really well that night. I have not used it since and have been sleeping well. I will always keep a pot just in case as it put my sleep pattern back to the norm. Many thanks
Lesley
I make a hot lemon and ginger drink for myself and my husband every morning – I will also add extra grated root ginger
I absolutely swear by it for helping keep the colds/sore throats at bay
Love Just Bee honey 🐝🍯

I love my lemon and ginger tea… I feel that it has definitely kept my cold symptoms to a minimum this year.
I also use your Sleep time honey which has been revolutionary to me and my sleep pattern

Im new to your honey & recently brought the tumeric one. Im loving it in hot water its really nice. Ive been having it morning & evening to help with my joints.
Debbie
Hi Joe I have been purchasing your Tumeric honey and immunity honey for a while now and love both. The Tumeric has certainly helped my joint pain. Keep up the good work
Norma
I love your lemon a ginger honey also I recently purchased elderflower honey . I use both either in mu porridge or on vegetables to make honey roasted. Not at the same time obviously one or the other. This gives my vitamin intake a boost. I haven’t tried in warm water yet. I will give it a go though.

I’m caffeine free after 2pm each day. Around 6pm each nght I have a Just Bee Honey in hot water. Usually its Lemon & Ginger,but this year I’ve been stocking up on the summer flavours. My favourite so far has been the coconut,closely followed by the pineapple. Looking forward to the last of the Summer releases. I’ve now gotten most of my family into Just Bee Honey.
Val Rose
Have been making honey lemon ginger tea for over 2 years. Very pleased with the tip about boiling water as that’s what I have been doing. Didn’t realise not to use boiling water
Susan crook
Hi Joe, I’m a newbie to your honey but can honestly say it’s the best I’ve ever tasted. Only had the Lemon & Ginger so far but definitely will be trying all the others. It’s now part of my daily in take – keep up the good work!

Hi Joe,
I am sorry, but the almond honey I really don’t like. It is much too sweet and tastes overwhelmingly of marzipan – and I like marzipan !!! This one is not for me, but I can give the other 2 jars to friends….I’ll just remember not to order almond again.
All the best,
Margaret xx
Margaret Rowbotham
Absolutely love the Almond Honey
Sharon Smith
Hi – Just to let you know I am enjoying your honey with turmeric. For years I have used honey to sweeten my tea & coffee , but I am so pleased with your honey, it is delicious – thank you.
I am certainly going to try your recipes – also I have planted the seeds you sent – shoots are already appearing
Amazing! – Joyce
Joyce Webb
I LOVE all the honeys I’ve tried. I have turmeric honey on muesli, fruit & yoghurt every morning, alternating with the gorgeous Super ginger immunity honey….sometimes in hot water too. Then night-time Sleep Honey in hot water or directly off spoon! My daughter-in-law loves her immunity lemon and ginger, which is delicious too and definitely helps keep away coughs & colds for us both
GAYNOR Harris

I’m absolutely loving the lemon and ginger honey either making as a hot drink with water or stirring a couple of teaspoons into my porridge or overnight oats. Will be ordering more and also trying the tumeric! Love that it’s natural.
Nicola
Beautiful honey !!. I came across it by accident on Tiktok, and so glad I did, I’ve had the Lemon & Ginger, the Valencia Orange and just waiting for the Turmeric Honey to be delivered. Ive used it everyday for the past 6 weeks and feel better in myself, even helps with my menopausal symptoms (aching joints). Gets 5 stars from me!!!

Absolutely loving the new Apple/Cinnamon flavour. Keep sneaking in to squeeze a little on my tongue
Anna Duncan
I’ve been loving turmeric honey for months now and definitely feel the benefits! I really enjoy lemon and ginger or Valencia orange on my yogurt, seeds and nuts mix and in my coffee. Lavender is also yummy.. let’s face it, they’re all delicious! I’m so glad I tried Just Bee, there’s no going back now :-)
Chrissy Gisbey

I am enjoying all your flavours of honey. My daughter loves the lemon & ginger hit drink. I am loving the plum mocktails.

My first order was the ginger and lemon honey. I loved it. I had some with my Yogurt, cereal and in my tea and coffee. My second order, the original honey is just as delicious as the ginger and lemon one. I will definitely continue ordering and try different flavours.
Ester Goemans
Best honey I’ve ever tasted. !!

I was a bit sceptical about Turmeric in honey, but it is actually delicious. I use mine to flavour natural yoghurt.
Lorraine Jones
I love my honey in the morning very refreshing
Peter
Just love it with yogurt
Ann Veronica Bluett
First jar and loving it will be buying more and trying the recipes.
MaggieBradbury
I use the lemon and ginger in hot water, on yoghurt, in my home made granola recipe, on porridge and of course straight from the side of the jar when it ‘inevitably drips’ . I must admit I have tried cheaper honey, but I return to just bee because it is special.
Jayne clarke
I am so pleased with Just Bee honey. So much so, I’ve given some to my daughter, daughter-in-law and friends! They all love it too! My favourite is the lemon & Ginger and also the Valencia orange.
Sylvia
Had my second order. Fantastic service, love the honey using mainly in drinks, but sneaking in the odd teaspoon as tastes so delicious 😋
Jennie
I’ve just started using honey with turmeric on my fruit and plain yogurt in the morning. Also adding a teaspoon in my usual glass of warm water and lemon, it’s delicious.
Janet Lake
The problem with this honey is that its so lovely i just want more and more. I have the lemon nd ginger it in hot milk at bedtime but i also have the turmeric on thick sliced buttered white bread.
Sue Short
