I have been feeling under the weather for the past few weeks. The coughing, sore throat and flu kept recurring. One of my close friends suggested some ginger tea and I just gave it a shot. It somehow works; I haven't been coughing as much.
Showing off my new teapot...
It also reminded me that I have not posted any beverage recipes for quite some time. Ginger has loads of health benefits. You can research it and maybe it is time to include more ginger into our diets.
PS: This is not a miracle tea. Please consult a doctor.
Ingredients:
(Serve 2)
Ginger, 1 Thumb Size
Black Tea Leaves, 1 TBSP
Green Cardamoms Crushed, 4
Water, 500g
Pure Honey / Maple Syrup, 2 TBSP Adjust To Preference
Equipment:
Teapot / Sauce Pot
Directions:
I am using my Hario ChaCha Kyusu Maru teapot.
If you do not have 1, you can do this in a sauce pot.
Bring water to a boil.
Remove from heat.
Grate in the ginger unpeeled.
Add in the tea leaves and green cardamoms.
Cover and steep for 8 to 10 mins.
If you are using a teapot, grate ginger unpeeled into the infusion basket.
Add in the tea leaves and green cardamoms.
Pour in the boiling water.
Cover and infuse for 8 to 10 mins.
Add honey or maple syrup to a serving glass and pour in the tea.
Serve immediately.
Cheers!
