Equipment

  • 2 mugs
  • 1 small saucepan
  • 1 fine mesh sieve optional

Ingredients

  • 1 large thumb ginger
  • 2 bags black tea
  • 2 cups water
  • 2 cups almond milk or other
  • ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon

Optional

  • sweetener of choice

Instructions

  • Peel and cut ginger into small pieces. (Alternatively, you can grate it.)
  • Add ginger to a small saucepan & pour milk on top. Heat it up slowly until piping hot. Don't let it boil.
  • In the meantime add tea to boiling water. Let steep for 4 minutes before removing the tea bag/leaves.
  • Remove the ginger from your milk (by pouring it through a sieve).
  • Optional step - froth the milk using a milk frother or a blender.
  • Pour the milk on top of your tea and finish with a sprinkle of cinnamon.

Notes

  • For a stronger ginger flavor use more ginger or finely grate it
  • Cut the ginger into small pieces - this way it will release more flavor into the milk.
  • Creamier - add an extra dash of milk for a creamier drink.
  • The tea: milk: water ratio is completely up to you!
  • If you want a sweeter flavor but want to avoid sugar simply add some stevia to your tea.
  • Use super creamy milk (like coconut milk) for a heavier, thicker version.
