Stacey Bendet’s Ginger Tea Recipe

Happy cozy girl fall to all who celebrate.

As we begin to switch out our tumblers of iced refreshments for mugs of steaming bevvies, there’s no better time to share this amazing ginger tea recipe. Stacey Bendet, the creative director and founder of Alice + Olivia, drinks it nearly every day, and she was kind enough to tell us how to make it.

“I love making fresh ginger tea. It’s amazing for digestion, congestion, and immunity,” Stacey tells us. It’s the rare beverage that is both calming and invigorating, and it’s caffeine-free so it can be enjoyed any time of day.

The recipe takes a little bit of patience, but the steps are super easy and the resulting bottle of concentrated lemon ginger tea makes multiple servings (and lasts for up to a week in the fridge).

Not to mention, using fresh ginger root just hits differently than powders or tea bags. (It also tastes way better.) 10/10 worth the extra effort.
