Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 50 grams fresh ginger root
- 4 cups water
- 3 tablespoons brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon lemon juice (optional)
- 1 teaspoon honey (optional)
Instructions
Peel the fresh ginger root using a spoon or a knife and slice it into thin, small pieces.
In a medium-sized pot, bring the 4 cups of water to a boil over medium heat.
Add the sliced ginger to the boiling water and reduce the heat to low. Let it simmer for about 10 minutes to extract the ginger's essence.
Turn off the heat and strain the tea into another pot or teapot to remove the ginger pieces.
Stir in the brown sugar while the tea is still hot, ensuring it dissolves completely. Taste and adjust the sweetness if needed.
If desired, add a teaspoon of lemon juice for a citrusy twist or a teaspoon of honey for extra sweetness.
Serve the Salabat Ginger Tea hot in individual cups. Garnish with a lemon slice if desired.
