- 1.Coin the Ginger. Scrub the ginger — no peeling — and cut six thick coins. Thick coins steep slower and rounder than thin slices, and the skin holds flavor you want.
- 2.The Covered Steep. Pour steaming water over the coins and set a small plate over the mug for five minutes. The lid traps the volatile ginger oils in the cup instead of the kitchen air — this one move is most of the flavor.
- 3.Sweeten in the Steam. Fish out the coins, then stir honey and lemon in while the mug is still steaming — honey dissolves clean in heat and sludges in cold.
- 4.Hold with Both Hands. Lemon wheel on the rim, and find the comfortable chair.
