When Sunita announced her Think Spice Event this month and when I saw it was ginger this time, quite a few recipes went through my mind. But the honest truth is, I can’t stand the smell of raw ginger. Its ironic, cuz I do like ginger chicken and stuff, but if you tell me that the antidote for nausea is chewing a piece of ginger, then I beg to differ! Raw ginger causes nausea in me. But I love ginger-flavoured tea. Yeah, I know, its tough to ‘digest’ this weird like-dislike circle of mine.
This is not much of a recipe, just a habit of mine that I wanted to share and hopefully, Sunita would accept this as an entry to her event.
To make ginger tea – boil 1/2 cup water and add 1 tsp tea leaves and 2 small pieces of ginger. Boil for a few minutes and add hot milk and sugar to taste. Drink hot!
This is my cup of Ginger Tea that gets me started every day morning. Just add a few pieces of shredded fresh ginger into your tea while its brewing and enjoy the flavour.
Hi Nagalakshmi,
I'm Punitha of http://www.southindiafoodrecipes.blogspot.in
New for your nice space well established and looks great Nags.
At your free time do visit my blog and give your valuable comments:)
Mmm, I love ginger in my masala chai! You can also make a really nice tea without milk or black tea. You just boil fresh ginger with some other spices and some jaggery in water till well flavoured. It's good hot or cold. I have some nice pictures on my blog: http://mangosoup.blogspot.com/2009/08/ginger-tea.html
Ginger tea is the only thing I could think of for the event as I make it almost everyday.
I kept thinking that I would make something else and send that in and finally ended up doing nothing. 🙂
That is a very nice pic. Are those tea-bags by the side?

When amma and me are ginger lovers, You and Papa always make a little fuss when it comes to this root!!:)..
So ultimately you made this “gingerly” for Sunita :)..
The pictures are great nowadays.The approprate Frames add a finer touch!

Ginger tea is all time favourite for many of us! Nice entry nag.. simple or complicated – thats not the matter, what counts is participation – i am yet to do something!!
Oh yeah, ginger is like one of the best teas. Whenever one is not feeling well also, we turn to ginger tea.
I like that combo that Mansi mentioned, ginger and cardamom, got to try it.
My morning never begins without a cup of ginger and cardamom tea loaded with milk and sugar (gujju style:))!! the new look on your blog looks great Nags:)
and No, I am married for 2 years now, just updated my status on Facebook recently:)
That tea sure looks like a winner! Nice pic!
Same here..My day doesnt start with that “adrak wali chai”….as if all the energy is stored up in it!!

Hi Nags, this is my daily breakfast. The heat from the ginger is so refreshing and warming!
Hey..you changed your look. This is very cute and girlie somehow I get a feeling this is more you 🙂
Ahh and I want ginger in my tea too
Nags!! thats one amazing cup of hot chai. I remember one of my friend sampada, who was an expert in making ginger tea, we literally used to go to her place every other day at tea time just to have this!!!
Very simple one to cheer up anyone!!
I love ginger tea. But then i add a Cardamom in it 😉
As simple as it may sound, this comes handy any day. Your blog has changed colours?!
