Extra Tips:

To enhance the flavor profile of this Ginger and Lemon Tea, consider adding a cinnamon stick or a few cloves during the simmering process for a hint of spice.

If you prefer your tea on the sweeter side, increase the amount of honey or substitute it with a natural sweetener like agave syrup. Adjust the quantity of ginger and lemon according to your preference for spiciness and citrus intensity.
