Prep Time: 10 minutes
Total Time: 10 minutes
Servings: 4
Skill Level: Easy
Ingredients:
- 4 ripe kiwis, peeled and chopped
- 1-inch piece of fresh ginger, peeled and grated
- 4 cups of water
- 2 tablespoons honey (or to taste)
- 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
- Ice cubes
- Mint leaves, for garnish
Instructions:
- Start by combining the chopped kiwis and grated ginger in a blender. Pulse until you achieve a smooth puree. The tangy aroma of the kiwi coupled with the zesty ginger is just a hint of the treat to come.
- In a large pitcher, add the kiwi-ginger puree and pour in the water. Stir well to combine, ensuring that the mixture is evenly blended.
- Add honey to the pitcher, adjusting the sweetness to your preference. Stir until the honey is completely dissolved, infusing the drink with a gentle sweetness.
- Squeeze in the fresh lemon juice for an extra layer of refreshing citrus flavor.
- Fill serving glasses with ice cubes. Pour the kiwi ginger tea over the ice, filling each glass to the brim.
- Garnish with fresh mint leaves to enhance the drink’s refreshing quality and add a pop of color.
Helpful Tips and Variations:
- If you can’t find fresh ginger, ground ginger can be used as a substitute. Use a small pinch to start, and adjust based on your taste preference.
- For an extra refreshing twist, serve this drink in chilled glasses.
- This recipe can be made ahead and stored in the refrigerator. Just give it a good stir before serving.
- For a kid-friendly variation, omit the ginger if the flavor is too strong for them.
Storage and Substitutions:
Store any leftover kiwi ginger tea in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. If certain ingredients are not available, you can substitute lemon juice with lime juice for a slightly different citrus profile or use agave syrup instead of honey for a vegan option.
Pairings and Complements:
Kiwi Ginger Tea pairs wonderfully with light snacks like cucumber sandwiches, fruit salads, or a simple cheese platter. For a sweet treat, enjoy it alongside vanilla cupcakes or lemon cookies to complement the drink’s citrus notes.
