Tips & Substitutions

This ginger cold tea can be adjusted by adding more lemon juice for extra tartness or a pinch of cinnamon for a warm spice. For a refreshing twist, try adding mint leaves for additional flavor.

For added comfort, enjoy it alongside a slice of Lemon Pound Cake or a bowl of Lillian'S Cranberry Salad for a balanced night-time treat.

This tea is best enjoyed fresh, but if you have leftovers, store it in the refrigerator in an airtight container for up to 24 hours. Reheat gently on the stove or in a microwave, being careful not to boil it again, as this can diminish the flavors. Always stir well before serving.
