Anyone make raw ginger tea? (ingredients, pancake, sugar, cinnamon)

[Sand&Salt]

Glancing at the green tea thread made me think of this.

I just get raw ginger, cut it up (scraping the worst of the peeling off with a spoon) and boil a whole pot for a couple minutes, have some, then let the slices sit in there for a day or 2. It's so soothing and supposedly good for the stomach. A tiny bit of stevia and milk if you want, or don't.

Remarkably different from packaged teas.

Trader Joe will carry a ginger tea with sparkling water, usually in the Fall, but who knows what will happen this year.

and of course, Ginger Syrup: https://search.aol.com/click/_ylt=Aw...SegLxjtThkOkQ-

I put in a few ginger slices when I make a jug of fridge tea.
Good flavor overnight, no boiling needed!

I cleaned and sliced all the ginger at once, then put it in the freezer for a quick addition any time.

I add a few slices of raw ginger to the water, and then use it to make green tea once the water is hot.

Yep! When I don't feel so good I slice up some ginger and boil it for about 10 minutes and drink it hot.

A couple of months ago I whipped up some homemade ginger ale, following a recipe from ATK. If you like ginger tea then you'll probably like this ginger ale too. It's simple to make. In fact, they have the recipe posted for free in their children's section because even a 10-year-old can make a batch of ginger ale that puts Canada Dry to shame. This reminds of the old fashioned ginger ale from when I was a kid more than 50 years ago. It has real ginger flavor with a pleasant bite and kick.

I make regularly fresh ginger tea with these ingredients

unpeeled fresh ginger
boiling water
honey as sweetener
(optional you can add a bit of fresh lemon or a bit of cinnamon)

All good ideas.
I'll usually add it to my hot green tea in the morning.

I cut off about an inch, peel, and then add it to the water. Tea bag, and microwave.

Never thought about making just straight ginger tea.

related, but not tea;
I've made my own candied ginger, basing it on a recipe for candied citrus peel.
Combine equal parts of 1/8" thick slices of peeled ginger, water, and granulated sugar (for example, 2 cups of each)
Simmer until ginger is tender, 30-45 minutes.
Drain ginger on wire rack (reserving the extra liquid for a drink flavoring or ice cream topping. mmmm!)
Toss ginger in granulated sugar to coat (saving the extra sugar because now it has a gingery flavor too)
Store in fridge or freezer.
Use in baked goods, to make tea, or just eat a slice now and then.

I've had candied ginger somewhere and man, it WAS delish! I'll have to try this recipe....

Sort of like ginger syrup I've made to go on "Dutch Babies"----a soufflé like pancake.
