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 have never been a big honey fan, but I thought I’d try the lavender honey to help me sleep, it tastes lovely in my camomile tea, plus I’m sleeping. I bought the lemon and ginger honey too. I love it, I have two teaspoon in my peppermint tea in the morning or stir it into my porridge. A great way to get those extra vital vitamins as well, bonus all round. I now prefer my tea with the honey.. I will be buying more.

I have the just bee sleeping time n I have to say I tried the 2 spoons in my cup of milk on the 1st night n I was flat out asleep within 20 minutes so now I don’t like the sweet taste of honey so much, cut it down to 1 teaspoon in hot/warm milk at night but I would really like to try the lemon n ginger 🫚, also the Valencia orange 🍊 one too, they sound delicious 😋 xxx

I wasn’t keen on the taste of the honey I’d tried before but recently saw Just Bee vitamin honey with lemon and ginger reviews on Facebook and thought I’d try it. Wow! What a difference! I just love the taste and now start every day with a wake up hot water and vitamin honey drink. I really feel my body is benefitting so much from this healthy first drink of the day instead of a caffeine laden coffee.
