Clean and chop your fresh ginger into 1-2" pieces. Remove the rind of the lemon, then slice it.
In a small saucepan, bring the water to a boil over medium-high heat.
Add the ginger and lemon to the saucepan and stir. Reduce the heat to low and simmer for five minutes. You can leave it for slightly longer if you want even stronger tea.
Strain the tea into mugs or teacups, and add a thin slice (or two) of fresh lemon to each cup and a drizzle of honey. Stir well, and enjoy!

Notes
For a more robust flavor: you can use crushed or grated ginger. You can keep ready-grated ginger in the freezer to simply pop out as and when needed, so you don't have to do that step each time.Make a large batch: To enjoy it over a few days, make a large batch in one go, let it cool completely, and transfer it to an airtight container in the fridge. You can drink it cold or heat a portion as needed.For tea throughout the day, I'll often use a larger knob of ginger and simply refill the water in the pan every time it runs out until I need new ginger to get more flavor again.Flavoring options: Add a slice of dehydrated mango or apple or a pinch of herbs or spices (like cardamom, mint, cinnamon, turmeric, etc).
