35 minutes

Cold ginger tea is a harmony of taste and benefits from Russian cuisine. This drink combines the freshness of green tea, the warming spiciness of ginger, and the sweet softness of honey. Added spices—cinnamon and cloves—give it a rich, spicy aroma, while lemon zest adds a subtle citrus note. Historically, ginger tea was valued for its invigorating and healing properties, especially in cold weather. This tea is perfect for refreshing on a hot day or boosting immunity in transitional seasons. Its taste is both warming and refreshing, with a light sweetness and spiciness from the spices.
