Easy Ginger Tea

Directions

1. 1
   Place grated ginger into a 2-cup glass measuring cup.
2. 2
   Fill to the 1-1/2 cup line with boiling water.
3. 3
   Set timer for 10 minutes.
4. 4
   When timer goes off, strain into a large mug and stir in sugar (you may need more or less, depending on how sweet you want your tea).
5. 5
   Taste; if it's too strong (too gingery) for you, add a little more boiling water to your mug, but I found the strong taste really grew on me, so I hope you try it this way first!
6. 6
   Sip and enjoy!
7. 7
   Note#1: If that's too much, you can use just 1 tsp grated ginger and just 1 cup of boiling water, but I like a big mug.
8. 8
   Note#2: a squeeze of lemon can be added, and maple syrup is an interesting replacement for the white sugar.
9. 9
   Note#3: If you triple or quadruple this recipe, you can make a lovely pot of ginger tea instead of a single serving.
