Ginger tea: The invigorating drink for every day

The History of Ginger

It was exported to Rome early on and became a significant product in Europe during the Middle Ages, largely due to its medicinal qualities. It's no surprise that ginger has embedded itself in various cultures and cuisines over the centuries.

Making the Perfect Ginger Tea: A Comprehensive Step-by-Step Guide

Ingredients: Choose a fresh ginger root that is firm and smooth. Lemon and honey are optional but add a subtle flavour nuance.

Preparation: Wash the ginger root thoroughly. Peeling is optional, but if preferred, lightly scrape the peel with a spoon.

1. Slice: Cut the ginger into thin slices. The thinner the slices, the more intense the flavour.
2. Boil Water: Bring water to a boil in a kettle or pan.
3. Make Tea: Place the ginger slices in a teapot and pour the boiling water over them. Let it steep for 5 to 10 minutes, depending on your desired strength.
4. Add Extras: If desired, add a splash of lemon juice and a teaspoon of honey.
5. Serving: Pour the tea into a cup and enjoy!
