Lemon and ginger is one of those infusions that works hot or cold and feels good any time of year, all bright citrus and a gentle warming kick from the ginger. This blend already has both, so it needs little help, but a fresh slice of lemon and a small swirl of honey at the end lift it from good to really good. It is caffeine-free, so it suits any time of day, right down to last thing at night.
