Ginger Tea? Argh! This is how some people will say so! It's drunk as a medicine and is a common devotion made from Ginger root, a common daily spice found in the kitchen of all the households in countries of Asia and the Pacific continent.
Ginger is a brown-skinned root that has yellow to a mustard-colored pulp. The root is flat and spreads in a branching manner. Small roots - rhizoids - are found on the crevices of these roots. They are tangy and sharp in taste that is neither sweet nor bitter.
How to Make Ginger Tea?
Ginger Tea can be prepared in several ways:
a) Ginger Tea:
Take a piece of ginger and boil it in water. Strain the water to collect the decoction. Add some honey or sugar or jaggery before drinking.
b) Lemon Ginger Tea:
Take a piece of ginger and boil it in water. Strain the water to collect the decoction in a cup having the juice of half the lemon squeezed in it. To this add honey or drink it as it is.
c) Other combinations of Ginger Tea:
Mint, turmeric with black pepper, cardamom and cinnamon, and tulsi are other herbs and spices that can be added along with the ginger tea preparation. In all these cases, the ginger tea is prepared with these spices and herbs added to the boiling water, and the decoction is strained to a cup. To this devotion is added honey or jaggery. Maple syrup is also a good choice to add to it.
Ginger root added to the regular tea devotion while being boiled makes the typical and common Indian ginger tea. To this decoction, milk can be added as a choice, and adding milk to a strong pungent ginger tea is highly refreshing. Take my word for a recommendation. Sugar can be replaced with lemon in this tea and for this tea, milk should not be added as it will curdle.
