Directions
Step 1
Peel and thinly slice the fresh ginger root into small pieces.

Add the sliced ginger to the boiling water, reduce the heat to low, and let it simmer for 7-10 minutes to infuse the flavor.

Once the ginger tea has simmered, remove the pot from heat and carefully strain the liquid into two teacups to remove the ginger pieces.
