We heat a liter of water and 4 large tablespoons of grated ginger. When it boils, remove, cover and let it infuse for 20 minutes. Strain and add the juice of 1 large lemon or 2 small ones. We transfer the water to a bottle or jug to consume during the day. Tip: you can add slices of cucumber (washed and with skin) and mint.
