Notes

  • Use freshly crushed ginger for best flavour. This ginger measure I have given will be fine however you can even increase it if you like more strong ginger flavour.
  • Let ginger infuse well for a more stronger flavour of ginger tea.
  • Add milk only after the tea concotion is boiled well.
  • I have added 1:1 water:milk ratio but feel free to adjust according to your preference.
  • I wanted ginger flavour to be dominant so added cardamom as such. But if you like you can crush cardamom and add it.
  • Use metal fine holed strainer.
