Ginger Tea by Bie
Love ginger, especially this time of year? We do too. Bea, one of our storekeepers, has an excellent and simple ginger tea recipe. “I like to make a big pot of ginger tea. It’s very refreshing. Have it hot or, for a nice cool drink, add a little ice.” Check out more of Bea’s recipes on her blog Thai Veggie with B. Enjoy!
Ingredients
4-5 slices of ginger root - fresh if possible (smashed with cooking knife), add more ginger if you like it to be stronger
2 cups of water
1-2 tbsp sweetening (optional) – I use maple syrup; you can use other sweetening such as honey or nothing at all
Directions
In a medium size pot, add water. Turn heat to high.
When the water comes to a boil, add ginger and turn heat down to low. Let it simmer for 10-15 minutes. Remove from heat.
Serve hot or as a cool drink. Enjoy!
For the last month we have been selling local ginger grown by Olde Moon Farm outside of Silverton, OR. We purchased the last of their supply for this year and hope to stock much more next year!
