How To Make Scrumptious Ginger Tea.

Its that time of year when everyone comes down with the sniffles. We all suffer from the Winter blues with the grey skies and bitter winds on our cheeks. Lately I have been a little tea-maker and have discovered the delicious flavour of ginger tea. Nathan has been a bit poorly, so I’ve been making it religiously every day and have decided to share my little recipe with you. It is so simple to do.

What you need:
1) Ginger root (you can buy these at any supermarket).
2) A saucepan.
3) Honey.
4) A mug.

What you need to do:
1) Firstly you need to wash the ginger root and then peel off the outer skin/layer. Next you slice it into very thin slices, the thinner you get, the better!

2) What I tend to do next is to boil the kettle before I put the ginger slices into the saucepan. I then fill the pan with the boiling water and put it on the hob.
3) Leave the pan of water with ginger to “steep” for 10-15 minutes. This means just put it on a low heat and continue to let it boil. The longer you let it boil, the less spicy it will be.
4) At this stage I add a spoonful of honey to the boiling water to add a sweet taste to the tea.

5) When you are ready, bring it off the heat and sieve it into your mug and voila! Enjoy!
