Begin by choosing dried Ginkgo biloba leaves from a reputable source. Ensure they are organic and free from any contaminants. The quality of your leaves will significantly impact your tea’s flavor and health benefits.

Place 1 tablespoon of dried Ginkgo biloba leaves into a teapot or infuser. Bring 2 cups of filtered water to a gentle boil, then pour it over the leaves. Allow the infusion to steep for 5-7 minutes, depending on your desired strength. Ginkgo leaves can be delicate, so avoid overstepping to prevent bitterness.

Add a teaspoon of fresh lemon zest once the tea has steeped to perfection. This not only imparts a citrusy brightness but also complements the earthy notes of Ginkgo. Gently stir the zest into the tea, letting the flavors meld for an additional 2 minutes.

Add a teaspoon of honey to your liking to balance the herbal notes. Honey not only sweetens the tea but also brings its own set of health benefits. Stir well until the honey is fully dissolved.

Using a fine mesh strainer, carefully strain the Ginkgo Tea into your favorite teacup. Take a moment to appreciate the golden hue and enticing aroma. Your Ginkgo Tea recipe is now ready to be enjoyed!
