How To Make Ginger Water
You’ll need 1 liter of water and 1 cup of fresh, sliced ginger root. Pour the water and sliced ginger into a large pot and bring it to a boil. Let the mixture simmer over a low heat for about 15 minutes. Once the mixture has cooled, strain the liquid into a jar or several jars.
You should drink at least 16oz. a day. It’s best to warm the liquid in a pot and store it in a thermos so you can keep it with you and sip on it throughout the day. Drinking it throughout the day helps the ginger burn fat cells around your waist and hips. It additionally cleanses toxins from your system and helps establish proper digestion. Both of these things are integral to losing weight.
