This is one of my absolute favourite things to drink, other than coffee and regular tea, that is! It's so easy, and it's good for you, too! You can buy ginger tea in packets, but it's better (and cheaper, too) to just make your own with fresh ginger. Thanks to Cdn Living Magazine for the original recipe I based this on!

SERVES 1 (change servings and units)

Ingredients

1 1/2 teaspoons freshly grated gingerroot
1 1/2 cups boiling water
1 1/2 teaspoons white sugar

Directions

1
Place grated ginger into a 2-cup glass measuring cup.
2
Fill to the 1-1/2 cup line with boiling water.
3
Set timer for 10 minutes.
4
When timer goes off, strain into a large mug and stir in sugar (you may need more or less, depending on how sweet you want your tea).
5
Taste; if it's too strong (too gingery) for you, add a little more boiling water to your mug, but I found the strong taste really grew on me, so I hope you try it this way first!
6
Sip and enjoy!
7
Note#1: If that's too much, you can use just 1 tsp grated ginger and just 1 cup of boiling water, but I like a big mug.
8
Note#2: a squeeze of lemon can be added, and maple syrup is an interesting replacement for the white sugar.
9
Note#3: If you triple or quadruple this recipe, you can make a lovely pot of ginger tea instead of a single serving.

Wonderful! I made this with ginger paste and didn't bother to strain it. Thank you so much for the recipe!

I've made this twice now, the first time, i took your advice and i did try it this way, it was a little too strong for me, but i'm sure the more ginger the healthier. The second time i made this i had really bad stomach cramps, i used 3/4 tsp. grated ginger and 2-cups boiling water (i like to use a big mug too), with 1 packet of splenda and a squeeze of fresh lemon juice and this made my stomach feel so much better, and i was able to get to sleep last night. I'll be making this alot, in fact i'm making a cup right now. Thank you Lennie, i am going to keep trying a little more ginger each time i make this, because i'm sure it's healthier this way.

I agree that this is a wonderful beverage at any time, but it's particularly good if you have an upset stomach or headache. I have been making this using minced ginger (or just sliced, if I'm really rushed, but mincing or grating releases more of the heady ginger scent). Also, if you do not have fresh ginger, make this with crystallized ginger - that is a handy kitchen staple. You'll need little, if any, additional sweetener with the crystallized ginger.

According to info on the internet, the benefits of ginger root are phenomenal — from weight loss, strengthening the function of kidney, bladder, uterus and liver, helping prevent strokes, anti-inflammatory...I never knew what to do with it. Thanks! This tea is superb.
