Ginger Tea Recipe
This simple and soothing ginger tea recipe made from freshly grouted ginger is perfect for warming up on a chilly day, drinking on a daily basis as an immune booster or for helping to alleviate nausea and indigestion.
Equipment
- 1 tea ball Strainer
- 1 grater
- 1 Kettle
- 1 kitchen scale
- 1 Knife
- 1 Cup
Ingredients
- 20 grams fresh ginger grated
- 2 cups water
- 2 tbsp lemon optional
- 2 tbsp honey optional
Instructions
- Cut 20 grams of fresh ginger. I like strong tastes. You can also use 15 grams or even 10 grams..
- Take the grater and use the medium grating side to grate the ginger
- Grate the ginger in a small plate or on your cutting board.
- Take the ball strainer and put the grated ginger inside
- Fill the ball strainer with as much minced ginger as you like. I put all 20 grams.
- Fill your cup with water.
- And pour the water inside the kettle. Do this twice as we're preparing two ginger teas. Turn the kettle on and wait for the water to boil.
- Add the strainer with the grated ginger in the cup and fill the cup with the boiling water. Do the same for the second cup of ginger tea as well.
- Your ginger tea is ready. Feel free to add some honey in the end to make it a bit sweeter.. If you're vegan, maple syrup will do as well.
Notes
- You can buy a strainer like the one I use in the tutorial here.
- You can add lemon, turmeric, cinnamon, honey and maple syrup to the tea - whatever you like.
- Some people like strong flavours (like me), so I tend to keep my ginger in the
- You can also cut the ginger into small pieces instead of grating it.
- Some people prefer to just "throw" the ginger in their cup and then pour the boiling water over it.
- If you don't want the hassle of grating, and don't mind the freshness factor, you can buy pre-grated ginger.
- You can also buy bags of grated ginger.
