For me having tea is an important routine of the day. I feel you can divide people solely based on what's their morning drink is. If someone is coffee drinker, for them making Tea is like Rocket science:-). For me that's true in case of coffee. I love my morning tea time, at least I used to. I like to have it peacefully sitting at one place. Now with two kids I rarely get that chance. I remember when I first learned how to make Tea. I used to wonder will I ever make a perfect Tea like my mom. Well, now I can and this recipe will make a perfect cup of Tea.
Ginger tea is something I make during winter. Ginger has great medicinal values. It protects from the colds and coughs in winter.
It is comforting to have a cup of Ginger tea during a chilly winter morning. Try it and you will be hooked too.

Ingredients:
1/2 teaspoon Ginger crushed
2 teaspoon sugar
1 tablespoon tea powder
8oz/1cup Milk
1/2 cup Water
Preparation:
- Add water to the vessel. Let it come to boil.
- Add tea powder.Add crushed ginger pieces as crushing would enhance Ginger flavor.Let it boil for couple minutes until you see a nice color and still some water left.
- Now add milk and sugar. (I used 2% milk but you can also use whole milk. If you use 1% milk, skip the decoction part and directly mix milk, Tea powder, sugar, Ginger and boil).
- Let it boil until you see nice color. It takes around 8-10 min.
- Now filter the tea into the Tea cups.
Drink it as it is or with a snack/Rusk on the side.
Tips:
You can cut down the sugar to your liking.
If you want a quicker way, you can heat up the milk in microwave while decoction is getting done.It would cut half the time.
