Purchase ginger root. Look for roots that don’t look dry or dehydrated. Ginger can range from $3.99 for 8oz to $6.99 for 2lbs - and that’s organic.
Slice your lemon in half. You will use one-half and then place the other half in a zip-lock bag in the refrigerator. You can squeeze your lemon or squeeze the lemon,and then put a few slices into your mug or glass.
Wash your ginger root skin. Thinly slice your ginger root. When I slice the end I typically do not use that piece. Place a minimum of three slices into your favorite mug, or glass.
Then add your water. It can be drank as a morning hot tea, or simply let it steep until the water is cool.
