Lemon Peel Sip

Peel, ginger, and honey in a small cup.

The smell of lemon peel is half the point. A strip of organic zest, a slice of ginger, and honey once it is warm — a traditional sip when food does not appeal.

Ingredients

1 cup

  • Organic lemon peel · yellow zest only1 strip
  • Fresh ginger2 slices
  • Raw honey · after cooling slightly1 tsp

Method

  1. 1

    Steep peel and ginger 6–8 minutes.

Why this cup

  • Aromatic enough that you may not need a full mug
  • Gentle on a day of small sips
  • Honey soothes the throat as well

Go gently

  • Honey is not for children under one year.
  • Avoid the white pith — it turns the cup harsh.
  • Kitchen sip, not a treatment for ongoing vomiting.
