Ginger Tea

Ginger tea is a warm and invigorating tea that comes from root ginger. It works really well when combined with other flavours, such as lemon, camomile or when blended with green tea.

A staple ingredient in most kitchens, ginger is often used as a palate cleanser or an accompaniment to many dishes. Ginger tea is a really popular tea, although strictly speaking, it’s an infusion as it doesn’t contain tea leaves. Ginger has long been used to create teas and to infuse foods, with the Ancient Greeks and Romans using it as both a spice and medicine. During the middle ages, ginger became popular in Europe and was used in cakes, beers, and other foods, and it has long been used in China as a remedy for colds and flu.

Today, ginger tea is enjoyed in lots of different ways and makes a comforting, warming, and spicy tea.

Ginger and ginger tea works great in foods, from lemon and ginger tea cake to gingerbread green tea fudge and ginger tea butternut squash soup, as well as refreshing ginger iced teas; there are lots of delicious and fun ways to add ginger tea to your day.
