Greetings to all who ran to me at the light! The topic of today's article is ginger tea how to brew properly, keeping the maximum useful properties this spice, and how to use.

Nothing that I marked the direction for you on the move? I think normal. There is nothing to torment the preliminary arguments. Moreover, this is not the first ginger article on the blog and I am not very indifferent to the spicy root. Last time we talked about the benefits of a favorite drink, now let's move on to more specific things.

From this article you will learn:

How to choose the root to brew a delicious ginger tea

Undoubtedly, the taste and benefits of ginger drink will largely depend on how good the root itself is. It is best to make tea with fresh ginger, but you can also use dried. The fact is that in the composition of the plant there is a substance called ginger, to which the spice is due to a burning taste.

During heat treatment, it turns into a zingeron;
When drying - in shogaol.

The molecular structure of both substances is almost the same, but shogaol is sharper, but zingerone is fragrant. Such chemical reactions allow brewing and boiling ginger without losing its taste.

Choosing the spine, pay attention to such subtleties:

Fresh should be juicy, firm and white on a break. Give preference to the longest (it has the most essential oils). Scrape the skin with a fingernail, a good product has a thin one and immediately after it is damaged, a specific aroma appears;
Choose a dried root dense, without foreign smells, black spots, and especially without mold.

You can also prepare drinks with ground ginger, if you trust its quality and you are not bothered by its taste (it is somewhat different than that of just dried root). Before you buy, make sure that the shelf life of the spice is not over yesterday.

Prepare ginger for brewing

In the East, the preparation of drinks with ginger root is a ritual. A bad product can give the drink an unpleasant bitterness and a non-specific flavor. And non-compliance with the rules of cooking and storing ginger will negate all the benefits of its use. To properly prepare the spice for making tea, consider the following points:

All the most useful is immediately under the skin of the spicy root. In a young plant, it is thin, because it can not be cleaned before brewing at all, but rather well washed or rubbed with a rough dish sponge. Older root has a thicker skin and will have to be removed. It is better to do this with a vegetable knife, brushing off only the uppermost layer shallowly.
Do not peel all the ginger at once. Cut a piece of the desired size, and return the rest to the refrigerator, after wrapping the food film. Root-free root should be cooked immediately, until all the “usefulness” have disappeared.
For processing and brewing use non-metallic dishes. It is better if both the knife and the pot are ceramic.
Brew can be cut with thin rings ginger or grated on a large grater. It all depends on how much time you have. The smaller the pieces, the faster they will brew.

Important! Fresh ginger root stored in the refrigerator without compromising quality for only a few days. To extend the life of a month, it can be slightly dried. But a well-dried root does not lose its properties for half a year.

Some "good" people say that ginger can be stored in the freezer. It is impossible! The cold negates all the useful qualities of the product.

What to add to drink with ginger

Ginger tea is a special drink! At home, it is prepared in many ways, and the result will be new and interesting each time. Its bitter and spicy taste blends:

with juice or fruit pieces;
spicy spices (black pepper, garlic, chili);
medicinal herbs;
jam;
dried fruit;
spices (cloves and cinnamon, anise, cumin, star anise).

You can cook it, just brewed with water, or mixed with any kind of tea, milk or cream, fruit juices. Ready drink can be drunk and cooled, and hot.

In the summer with ice, citrus and mint you get a great refreshing tea;
In the fall, fresh berries of the outgoing season, apples and other vitamin supplements to strengthen the immune system will fall;
In winter, the best solution would be warming spices, citrus peel and their juice. Brew it in a thermos and consume during the day to maintain energy.
In the spring, when the supply of vitamins is exhausted, you can add to the ginger drink rose hips, jams, dried fruit. It is important when brewing save vitamins as much as possible;

Interesting! True connoisseurs say that ginger tea is undesirable to drink with sugar. To hide the bitterness, add honey or homemade jam to the drink. Do not forget that honey can not be put in hot liquids, wait until your tea has cooled slightly.

How tasty and useful to brew ginger tea

About that, I have already told, read. It is good to drink it simply in pleasure, but it is possible to extract and considerable benefit from such tea drinking. After all, ginger is used to treat many ailments, improve overall health, strengthen the body's defenses. Depending on what goal you are pursuing, choose the most correct and convenient method of brewing.

Practical option

The name speaks for itself, and this is true. I prepared tea in a thermos in the morning and a healthy and tasty drink at hand all day. Usually, horned root is brewed for cold or for weight loss. This is convenient, because therapeutic courses involve taking a few cups a day, and preparing a new batch every time is troublesome. With a thermos, everything is very simple:

scald thermos
we pour loose and crushed ingredients,
pour boiling water over them
close the container with a lid.

Do not forget to keep the proportions: for two liters of water usually take either two tablespoons of grated root, or a couple of centimeters fresh (it all depends on the width of the original product). After half an hour - an hour, extract the ginger, if you do not want the drink to be too spicy and spicy. Those who are not afraid of spiciness and love more concentrated tea can leave all the components in a thermos for the night.

Attention! Keep in mind, ground ginger is not suitable for a thermos. Extract it does not work, and after an hour the drink will acquire bitterness, and may become muddy.

Urgent option

Brewing ginger, as they say, on the run, when not up to ceremonies, can be done right in the circle. For this, it is better to use a special mug, in which there is already a container for laying tea components. If there is none, you can use a regular tea strainer. We act as follows:

pour boiling water over a cup;
fresh root cleaned from the skin and three grated;
we pour into the container ordinary black tea and a teaspoon of grated spice;
bays boiling water, cover with a lid (can be a towel on top).

A drink is drawn like any tea - 10-15 minutes, but if everything is urgent, and 5 is enough.

I will share with you my little secret in this area. I love ginger drink so much that I almost never part with it. And so that there was always an opportunity to enjoy its taste and aroma, I make such a preparation:

i grind in a blender an average root of ginger with one lemon;
i add two large spoons of honey and mix;
i shift in a jar and tightly close.

The composition is beautifully stored in the refrigerator for a month. And you can always add it even to ready-made tea, even just to boiling water. A standard glass is enough a teaspoon.

Ginger decoction

Concentrated broths are prepared in a saucepan, which are good for coughing, for sore throat, menstrual pains and other health problems. To do this, boil a couple of spoons of grated ginger in a liter of water separately or immediately with the rest of the ground ingredients.

I advise you to use this tea for the treatment of children, because it is both healthy and tasty. But with gastrointestinal problems refrain from taking it.

I also recently learned how to boil ginger with milk, very tasty. I propose a good way to make such a drink look in the video:

Important!If you make ginger drink with green tea, then remember the rules of its preparation. Such tea is brewed at a temperature not higher than 80 ºС. Therefore, either cool the ginger decoction before pouring it into the brew, or draw all the ingredients at once in the teapot.

Classic, but not quite ...

In the teapot prepare tea for a relaxing family gatherings. In principle, nothing prevents the brewing of a ginger drink in the same way as in a cup, but if you are not in a hurry, it is better to devote more time to this process and not regret it.

Brew your favorite tea in a ceramic teapot. At this time, make a ginger decoction by boiling a spoonful of grated root in a glass of water for a few minutes. Add the strained decoction to the tea and leave for a little more. If you want to make a ginger drink in a tea pot without tea, use the original recipe from this video:
