How to make ginger tea?
Making ginger tea is simple and soothing. Here’s a basic recipe to follow:
Ingredients:
- 1 tablespoon fresh grated ginger
- 2 cups water
- Honey or lemon (optional, to taste)
Instructions:
-
Prepare the Ginger: Peel the ginger root and grate it to measure about one tablespoon. For a stronger tea, you can increase the amount of ginger.
-
Boil Water: In a saucepan, bring the water to a boil. Once boiling, add the grated ginger.
-
Simmer: Reduce the heat and let the ginger simmer in the water for about 10-15 minutes. The longer you simmer, the stronger the tea.
-
Strain: Remove the saucepan from the heat. Pour the tea through a fine mesh strainer into a cup or teapot, discarding the ginger pieces.
-
Add Flavors: If you like, add honey and/or lemon juice to your tea according to your taste preferences. Honey will add sweetness, while lemon juice will add a refreshing citrus note.
-
Serve: Enjoy your ginger tea while it’s warm.
Ginger tea is not only warming and comforting, but it’s also revered for its potential health benefits, including digestion aid, anti-inflammatory properties, and immune system support.
