Looking for a drink that will spice the day up or even change the whole life? Let’s make a ginger tea that’s been always on our path!
Making ginger tea is the same process as making any other tea. More precisely we need to boil hot water and soak the ginger in it until we feel like it hit the strength we like. There is two main methods of doing it with various advantages and caveats in both.
The simplest method needs only a knife to slice the ginger root up while the more resource hungry process requires a shredder. The advantages of slicing are that we can easily remove the pieces of ginger from the water once we had enough of them, but we need to soak them for a longer time.
Grating on the other hand will release the aroma of the ginger quicker, reducing the soaking time but it’s a pain to remove the floating pieces of ginger from the liquid if we haven’t used a tea egg or stuck without a sieve. Not to mention that we have to take care of the cleaning of the grater and the kitchen counter too.
Of course, it’s always an option to just leave the floating pieces of ginger in the tea and enjoy an occasional bite. Hopefully we can get away with this much, even on intermittent fasting Afterall it’s just a tea.
