Fish Tales

My life in Singapore Taipei. And then some.

In Bali, I tried a fabulous drink. Surprisingly, it was the first time I’d tasted ginger tea. This sweet, spicy drink is also supposed to remedy colds, sore throats and indigestion.

And it’s really easy to make:

  • Slice a few ginger roots
  • Boil for about 20 minutes
  • Strain the liquid into a pitcher
  • Pour into a mug
  • Squeeze a slice of lemon into the tea
  • Sweeten to taste with honey
     

Store in the refrigerator. Try iced next time.

    Hi,
    I make this tea sometimes too, but a little differently. I slice a bit of ginger and a lemon, then add them to an infuser. Pour boiling water on top and let it steep for 5-10 minutes. Served with a touch of honey, it’s a drink my brother likes almost as much as me, and is always nagging me to buy ginger/lemon (we always seem to have one and not the other) so that I can make the tea for him. The ginger is great for any illness, because it heats up the body, causing you to sweat out impurities. Clears up colds really fast!
    Thank-you :)
