How much ginger to use for ginger tea?!


Question: I boil a pound in a full stock pot.


Answers: I boil a pound in a full stock pot.

I use a piece the size of my thumb in about 2 cups of water, boil it down by half.

for one cup just 1/2''

easy ginger tea
1 1/2 teaspoons freshly grated gingerroot
1 1/2 cups boiling water
1 1/2 teaspoons white sugar
Directions
1Place grated ginger into a 2-cup glass measuring cup.
2Fill to the 1-1/2 cup line with boiling water.
3Set timer for 10 minutes.
4When timer goes off, strain into a large mug and stir in sugar (you may need more or less, depending on how sweet you want your tea).
5Taste; if it's too strong (too gingery) for you, add a little more boiling water to your mug, but I found the strong taste really grew on me, so I hope you try it this way first!
6Sip and enjoy!
7Note#1: If that's too much, you can use just 1 tsp grated ginger and just 1 cup of boiling water, but I like a big mug.
8Note#2: a squeeze of lemon can be added, and maple syrup is an interesting replacement for the white sugar.
9Note#3: If you triple or quadruple this recipe, you can make a lovely pot of ginger tea instead of a single serving.
