Spicy Ginger Tea

Description:
Alternative to your usual coffee.

But take note...people suffering from heartburn should not use ginger in large quantities to make the tea, for it can aggravate the condition...


Ingredients:
4 cups of water
4-5 slices of fresh ginger
A few strips of orange peel
4 pods of cardamom
4 cloves
2 cups of milk, low-fat
4 teaspoons of tea leaves (Assam)
Brown sugar, according to taste


Directions:
Put the water, cardamom, ginger slices, orange peel and cloves in a saucepan, bring to boil, then cover and simmer for about ten minutes.

Add the tea leaves and milk and simmer for another two minutes.

Turn off the heat and allow it to steep for about 4-5 minutes, or according to how strong you want it.

Strain the tea and add sugar according to taste. Serve hot.

  4. Never liked ginger (salabat) as a drink. I think the taste is overpowering.
