Notes
- Peeling Turmeric and Ginger: The easiest way to peel turmeric and ginger is by using a pairing knife. It can get into all the nooks and crannies without wasting too much of the root.
- Grating vs Chopping: You have the option of either grating or chopping the turmeric and ginger. If you want a stronger flavor, grating is the way to go as it exposes more surface area.
- Infusion Time: Cooking time can affect the flavor of the tea. A longer cooking time will result in a stronger, more potent flavor. Adjust according to your taste preference.
- Honey Addition: Add honey to the tea after it has cooled down slightly.
- Storing Leftover Tea: Leftover tea can be stored in the fridge for up to a week. It can be reheated or drunk cold.
