We are having this tea for at least 10 years and this is the first thought when we feel the slightest discomfort in the throat.
Ingredients
The ingredients of ginger green tea are simply a staple in most homes. That is fresh ginger root, green tea leaves, lemon juice, and a sweetener.
How to make it?
What makes this tea even more special is that you can make minor changes and keep it interesting all the time. Finely thinly sliced ginger can be used too but for maximum flavor, grated it best. Fresh ginger is alway better than ginger powder. Green Tea: Use loose and real green tea for the best taste. Sweetener: We like honey, sugar, or jaggery best. You can use any sweetener. Lemon juice: Use freshly squeezed lemon juice. Cinnamon: A cinnamon stick is optional. And you can substitute stick with cinnamon powder. In the below recipe, it shared only a ginger cinnamon combo, but actually, we enjoy it with cardamom and fresh mint too. Both ginger and green tea are very forgiving and happily mingle with other spices and sweeteners. Now, I love variety like anyone. I just can’t go to the kitchen and cook the same tea every day with the same passion every day. When it comes to green tea, I’m not satisfied until I have tried every known or imaginable combination. So you see how would you decide the best. After giving good thinking to this post, I thought to leave it to the readers.
When you have a cold, ginger green tea seems best. When you have a headache, a robust ginger milk tea never lets you down. On a tiring day when you want to relax, aromatic ginger and cardamom tea seem to be a hit. And after a spicy dinner, ginger mint tea is a good option. As mint also helps with bloating and acidity.For heartburn, the ginger fennel cinnamon mint tea combo kicks it.
