Ginger root tea: Add 1 to 2 teaspoons of dried ginger root to a cup of boiling water. Cover and simmer or steep for 10 to 15 minutes for a strong, warming brew. Strain and enjoy with honey and lemon for a classic combination. The longer you steep, the stronger and spicier the flavour.
Blending: A classic pairing with Turmeric for a warming golden blend (add a pinch of black pepper to support absorption). Lovely combined with Lemon Balm for a bright, uplifting tea. For immune support, try blending with Elderberries and a squeeze of lemon.
Cooking: Grind dried ginger root in a spice grinder or use pieces directly in slow-cooked dishes, broths, and soups. Also popular in home brewing and ginger beer recipes.
Ginger has been a prized spice for over 5,000 years and was one of the first spices to travel the ancient trade routes from Asia. It was so highly valued in medieval times that a pound of ginger could be traded for the price of a sheep.
