Today’s ginger water recipe is an easy guide to a refreshing and invigorating drink that’s done in 10 minutes.

For body cleansing and detoxifying purposes, ginger water is undoubtedly one of the simplest and most energizing choices. It’s also a lovely, cozy drink to warm up your body on cold days.

Benefits of Ginger Water

Ginger is a common ingredient that’s been used either for food flavoring or as a plant-based remedy. Ginger water, or ginger tea, is one of the tastiest, easiest, and most brilliant ways to consume ginger on a regular basis. It also brings potential benefits for many health conditions.

  • Aid digestion and treat nausea:

Ginger is known for soothing upset stomachs and morning sickness. It is especially useful after big meals where you binge-eat your favorite dishes.

Studies have also proven ginger can be used during pregnancy to treat nausea and vomiting.

  • Aid weight loss:

It’s no surprise that ginger water can help promote weight loss as ginger is super low in calories and carbohydrates. It can make you feel full for longer, hence preventing you from overeating.

Is Ginger a Diuretic?

Yes, ginger has diuretic qualities. This is one of the main reasons why ginger is widely used in teas and detoxifying drinks

People believe consuming ginger helps increase urination and get rid of excess fluids built up inside your body. Extra body fluid is known to result in breathing difficulty, high blood pressure, swollen tissues, and kidney issues.

Besides ginger, other natural diuretics are hibiscus, coffee, and teas of all kinds. Consuming these foods on a regular basis can bring positive effects in treating the mentioned health conditions.

When Is the Best Time To Drink Ginger Water?

Ginger water is low-calorie, alcohol-free, and caffeine-free. If you’re cutting back on unwanted flavorings and sweeteners, this drink might be your new favorite drink.

Therefore, we can say with confidence that you’re free to enjoy this drink whenever you want throughout the day.

For instance, it’s a perfect pick-me-up in the morning to energize your body from inside out. Prepare yourself a bottle of this drink and bring it to work to keep yourself hydrated easily.

Ginger water can also be a soothing evening sipper. Simply drink it down before going to bed to keep warm all night long.

Little did you know, it can be even more comforting if served hot, especially during the colder months of the year. This surely is a fantastic choice when you’re feeling sick or have a runny nose.

What Can I Add To Ginger Water?

This ginger water recipe was created in a basic and fail-safe way. That’s for you to get creative with this detoxifying drink whatever way you want.

Below are some suggestions for the add-ons.

1. Lemon

Most people prefer enjoying ginger water that’s infused with drops of fresh lemon juices. The natural freshness of lemon perfectly balances the spicy kicks of ginger, making it an indispensable sidekick in this drink. 

Lime can also do the magic, however, please note that it will be roughly twice as sour as lemon.

Also, if you’re thinking of omitting ginger completely from your detox drink, take a look at this lime water recipe of ours.

2. Honey

If lemon is to neutralize the heat from the ginger, then honey can act as a warming spice.

Honey can also add a lovely yellowish shade and a delightful flavor to ginger water. Simply whisk it into the ginger-infused water until completely combined.

3. Mint

Contrasting the honey, mint is a cooling component that will bring the spice of ginger to the next level. Together, the combination of mint and ginger doubles the freshness and lessens the pungency.

Can You Freeze Ginger Water?

You certainly can freeze ginger water. However, that doesn’t mean you need to. Refrigerating the water and giving the ingredients some time to infuse is all it requires.

How Long Does Ginger Water Last in the Fridge?

Apparently, not many people can finish an entire water jug in a day. Good news: Ginger water can last pretty long— up to a week in the refrigerator.

For daily use, we suggest preparing a big jug of ginger water before you go to bed and refrigerate it overnight. The next morning, it will be ready for you to enjoy.
