Recipe for 4

Ginger tea or infusion is a great way to start the day. This recipe is for four people but you can adapt for one and make the infusion your own, so whether you like lemon, different sweetener (honey or agave) etc.

Method

Peel ginger and chop coarsely.
Put into a pan with the water and sugar.
Bring to the boil, then turn down to a low heat and simmer gently for 15 - 20 minutes.
Strain and serve in tea glasses or tea cups.

Variations on the theme - we often start the day with fresh ginger, lemon (honey or agave syrup) and boiling water.

Another lovely refreshing tisane to perk you up is a teaspoon of organic turmeric (ground) half a teaspoon of organic ginger ground and boiling water.
