Here is how you make Citrus Ginger Tea:

Roll the citrus on the counter to soften, cut in half and ream out juice ( a little pulp is ok)Grate the fresh ginger root: I like to use a microplane.Divide citrus juice, pulp and ginger into two large mugs.Fill mugs with boiling water and allow to steep.Add sweetener to taste preference.Increase or decrease the amounts of citrus and ginger according to individual taste. I find I use more ginger in the cooler temps to warm me up. Ginger tea is very low in calories and the thermogenic properties can enhance weight loss. You can also make this ahead and refrigerate for a refreshing cold drink. Number of Servings: 2Recipe submitted by SparkPeople user NANNER2121.
