Ginger In Honey For Ginger Tea
- 1 Ginger
- 1 enough to cover the ginger Honey
- Wash the ginger and dry it well.
- This prevents any extra moisture from getting in.
- If you leave the ginger out on a sieve, it will dry in less than half a day.
- Peel and slice the ginger.
- If the skin doesn't bother you, or you are using organic ginger, you don't have to peel it.
- I always do.
- Put the sliced ginger in a jar, and start adding the honey.
- To begin with, the honey it very sticky and the ginger won't sink to the bottom of the jar.
- But in just a little while (about a minute?)
- lots of juice will be exuded by the ginger, which mixes with the honey, and then it will drop down to the bottom.
- If you leave the jar for 2 to 3 hours, a lot of ginger juice will come put (and pool in the top).
- The layer in the bottom will have more honey in it.
- As time passes, the honey layer on the bottom will decrease.
- The main photo shows how the jar looks after 2 days.
- The honey on the bottom is about 5mm thick.
- Use this up quickly when the weather is hot.
- Add as much honey-ginger as you like in black tea to make ginger tea.
- The honey tends to sink to the bottom, so stir it up well before using.
- You can add it to plain hot water, soy milk, or cocoa, too.To increase your metabolism I recommend adding it to hot beverages, but in the summertime you can add it to cold water or soda water.
- It's not limited to beverages either.
- It's delicious spread on bread or poured over yogurt or fruit too.
- I also like to add it to simmered sweet potatoes or kabocha squash.
- It's not too strong and is very mild.
- Or try mixing it with soy sauce and using it on grilled or panfried meat.
- You can use the honey even if it hardens.
- If you layer the hardened honey and the ginger slices, the honey will melt naturally in the ginger juices.
- If you don't mind the hot taste of ginger, the ginger slices are delicious after a week or so too.
- Black tea with ginger helps to combat flu and cold viruses.
- You may be concerned about this spoiling in the hot summer months.
- After a lot of juice has come out of the ginger, you can store the jar in the refrigerator.
- If you're still concerned about it spoiling, bring it to a boil, remove the ginger, and then store.
- The ginger juices are exuded quite quickly when the weather is hot, so you could just make a small amount at a time.
- See the brown sugar syrup version, "Brown Sugar and Ginger Syrup" -.
- is "Grapefruit Ginger Ale For Healthy Summer Skin."
- This ginger-honey is delicious in any season.
- It also helps to lighten your complexion and warms up your body.
