    ⚙ SimmeringStove
    💡A gentle simmer, not a boil: a hard boil dries the food out and clouds it, a slow simmer cooks it evenly.
  5. 5
    Strain the drink into cups.
    Fine sieve
    💡Strain through a fine strainer, so no whole spices or ginger fibers end up in the cup.
  6. 6
    Add the honey and lemon juice and stir.
  7. 7
    Serve hot, garnished with the mint leaves.
