Name: The Standard Cup (Tropical Sun Ginseng)
Total time: 7 min
Yield: Makes 1 mug
Cuisine: British
Ingredients: 1 tea bag of Tropical Sun Ginseng; 250ml freshly boiled water (100C); Honey, to taste; A slice of lemon, optional

Tropical Sun Ginseng is pure dried ginseng root, so it brews up earthy and faintly bittersweet, with a slow warmth that builds as you drink. It is a world away from the sharp citrus and floral herbals, more of a grown up, contemplative cup, and it takes well to a little honey. Caffeine free.

You'll need

1 tea bag of Tropical Sun Ginseng
250ml freshly boiled water (100C)
Honey, to taste
A slice of lemon, optional

Method

Pop the ginseng bag in your favourite mug.
Pour over the freshly boiled water and leave to steep for 5 minutes so the earthy root opens up.
Lift out the bag without squeezing it, to keep the bitterness gentle.
Stir in a little honey to balance the earthiness, and add a slice of lemon if you like.
Sip slowly and enjoy the warming, earthy cup.
Give it the full 5 minutes; a short brew tastes thin and medicinal, while the full steep rounds the bitterness.

What you'll end up with: An earthy, gently bittersweet caffeine free cup with a slow warmth, rounded out by honey.
