Peel ginger and crush it with a metal pounder or pestle. I find it easiest to do. Alternatively, you can grate the ginger.
Boil water with ginger and cinnamon. (Pro tip: You can add more spices like cardamom, turmeric, fennel, and mint also at this stage.)
Let the water come to a boil then reduce heat and simmer for 5 minutes until the color of the water changes slightly and the spices have released their flavors.
When the color changes add the green tea and cover the pot. (Protip: If using any sweetener other than honey like sugar, brown sugar, maple syrup, stevia, or jaggery add it now.)
Turn off the heat and steep for 3-4 minutes. Strain and serve hot.
Add honey after serving. Add lemon. You can add more or less lemon to taste or skip it too if you have a sore throat.
