Ginger (Zingiber officinale) is a tropical perennial that grows from an aromatic, tuberous rhizome that is knotty shaped and buff colored.  The name Ginger is derived from the Sanskrit "gringa" or horn and "vera" meaning body, in reference to the shape of the root.  Ginger has a recorded history of use in China dating from the 4th century B.C. Used for hundreds of years as a spice in cooking, Ginger is also used for its soothing properties.  Ginger is available fresh, dried, ground, and in dried pieces.  It can be added to beverages, fruits, salads, meats, poultry, vegetables and is a favorite in stir-fry cooking.  Combined with onions and garlic, it adds an agreeable, warming flavor to any main entree.

The best way to make a good tasting cup of tea is by the infusion method.  Place one tea bag in a cup and add no more than 6 oz. of boiling water.  Let steep for 3 minutes and remove the bag.  Press the bag before removing to enhance flavor.

Add honey to sweeten.
