GINGER ROOT
Level 1
Ginger-Infused Green Tea
- a Marlene Samuels creation -
This wonderful tasting tea works hot or iced, sweetened or “au natural” - whatever is your pleasure. Even better, it’s a quick preparation, has all those excellent health benefits I just mentioned, and is vastly more economical and flavorful than its mass-produced, store-bought counterparts. Follow the recipe, make a big batch and – yet another advantage – your Ginger Tea will keep for at least a week or more in the fridge.
2-3 all natural green tea teabags
8 cups hot water
2-4” pieces raw ginger root
Sweetener optional
Cookware needed: kettle or any heat-proof container
- Peel and rinse ginger root. Using a sharp paring knife, slice into thin “coins.”
- Place 2-3 tea bags and sliced ginger into kettle.
- Slowly pour water over tea and ginger. Cover to steep for 3 minutes, and remove tea bags immediately to avoid bitterness.
Serving suggestions:
- If you prefer your tea sweet, add sweetener while tea is steeping.
- To enjoy as an iced beverage, allow tea to come to room temperature and then refrigerate. Serve over ice.
