Ginger Tea – Indian Ginger Tea (with Milk) Recipe

November 23, 2015 34 Comments

Tea is my morning drink. I know most people get started on coffee but it has always been tea for me. And if its with a tinge of ginger – nothing like it! I regularly add ginger to hide the raw smell of tea leaves in my drink.

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.

    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?

    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

    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.

    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!!
