Fresh ginger is amazingly good for you, inside and out, and I highly recommend it for just about anything. Upset tummy? Cold? Depressed? Weightloss? Bored? Achy? Ginger tea can and will help. Try it!
Now, ginger tea is not complicated. Heat some water with a slice of fresh ginger in it and you will make ginger tea. But there are some tricks for getting the maximum flavour and benefit out of the ginger and also lots of things you can also add to the tea to mix it up and customize it to your own preferences.
And that is why I have this particular recipe bookmarked. Kathy Patalsky does a great job of giving options and talking about changing it up to support different goals.
Note: Kathy calls for a Vitamix or similar, but you could certainly use a regular blender or even an immersion blender if you chop your ginger a little before you add it. Or, if you're like me and find the noise and fuss of blenders too much bother, grate it finely with a cheese grater and seive it out at the end.
Let's see - today I am going to try it with...vanilla! Mmmmm.
Love you!
Kitty
Looks super yummy!
You're about to find out.
Love this. Here in Thailand we use a boring and very traditional stone mortar & pestle to crush the ginger. Important to note that young ginger (only 1 season in the ground) is much milder and has reduced medicinal properties to what we (here in Thailand) call "aged ginger" - 2 seasons in the ground. Much stronger flavour and enough to make your eyes water... our medicinal go-to, although it's the young one we juice regularly with our beetroot-pineapple-carrot. Nice post.
Thanks. That is great to know. We are just starting to learn about growing ginger and turmeric root here in a greenhouse.
Using a mortar and pestle is probably the best method. I'm willing to bet that it leaves something 'energetic' intact that the other methods don't.
Thanks for reading!
