The recipe

Exact quantities, then the method.

Dilmah's ginger and honey is a warming herbal cup, and a couple of small tweaks make the most of it. Drop a coin of fresh ginger in with the bag for a bit more heat, brew it hot for four minutes, then stir a little honey through at the end to round it off.

The bag carries honey notes already, so you need only half a spoon. Makes one mug.

⏱ 5 min 🍽 Serves 1 📊 Easy 📚 Ginger Tea Recipes

You'll need

  • 1 tea bag of Dilmah Ginger and Honey
  • 250ml freshly drawn water at 100C, just off the boil
  • 1 thin coin of fresh root ginger, peeled
  • 1/2 teaspoon of clear honey
  • 1 250ml mug, warmed
  • 1 saucer for covering during steep

Method

  1. Warm a mug, then drop in the tea bag and a coin of fresh ginger.
  2. Pour over 250ml of freshly boiled water, cover and steep for four minutes.
  3. Lift the bag out but leave the ginger coin in for ongoing warmth.
  4. Stir in a little honey until it dissolves.
  5. Half a spoon of honey is plenty; the bag is already lightly sweetened.
What you'll end up with: A warming, golden cup with a clean ginger heat and a soft honey roundness. Gently spicy and comforting, lovely on a cold day.
