Ginger and black pepper paste

Ginger tea

Not everyone likes the strongly aromatic taste of ginger and in such cases, a tea made with ginger is equally good.

  • Cut ginger into really fine pieces and boil along with a cup of water. You could also add some tea leaves and tulsi leaves.
  • Boil it until the water reduces to half its original quantity. This is so that the water absorbs all the qualities of ginger.
  • Strain the liquid in a cup, and add some honey to it. Your ginger tea is ready. (Read: 10 health benefits of ginger)
