Ginger Tea

🔥 Prep

• Peel and thinly slice the 1 inch ginger.
• Measure out 2 cups of water.
• Measure out 2 tsp of tea powder.
• Measure out 2 tsp of sugar.
• Measure out 0.5 cup of milk.

🔥 Cook

• 1. In a saucepan, combine the sliced ginger and 2 cups of water, then bring to a boil over medium-high heat.
• 2. Once boiling, reduce heat to low and simmer for 3 minutes to release the ginger flavor.
• 3. Add 2 tsp of tea powder and 2 tsp of sugar, stir well, and continue to simmer on low for 2 minutes.
• 4. Pour in 0.5 cup of milk, increase heat to medium and warm the mixture for 3 minutes, ensuring it does not reach a rolling boil.
• 5. Remove the saucepan from the heat, strain the tea into serving cups, and discard the solids.

🔥 Serve

• Serve the ginger tea hot, preferably in small traditional cups.
• Pair with South Indian snacks such as murukku, banana chips, or a piece of jaggery for added sweetness.
