1
Prepare the Ginger
Peel the fresh ginger root using a vegetable peeler or the edge of a spoon. After peeling, chop the ginger into thin slices or small pieces to release more flavor.
2
Prepare the Pears
Wash the pears thoroughly. Cut them in half, remove the seeds, and slice them into thin wedges. You can leave the skin on for added nutrients and color.

3
Boil the Water
In a medium-sized pot, bring 4 cups of water to a rolling boil over medium-high heat.
4
Add Ginger and Pears
Once the water is boiling, add the chopped ginger and sliced pears to the pot. Stir well to combine.
5
Simmer the Tea
Reduce the heat to low and let the mixture simmer for about 15-20 minutes. This will allow the flavors to meld together.
6
Strain the Tea
After simmering, remove the pot from heat. Use a fine-mesh strainer to strain the tea into a teapot or pitcher, discarding the ginger and pear solids.
7
Add Honey and Lemon Juice
While the tea is still warm, stir in the honey (if using) and freshly squeezed lemon juice to enhance the flavor. Adjust sweetness to taste.

8
Serve the Tea
Pour the hot ginger pear tea into cups. If desired, garnish with fresh mint leaves for an aromatic finish. Enjoy your soothing tea!
