🍵 Ginger Tea
Ginger tea is a warm, soothing beverage made by steeping fresh or dried ginger root in hot water. It’s known for its spicy flavor and potential health benefits, including aiding digestion, reducing nausea, and supporting the immune system.
🛒 Ingredients (Serves 2)
- 2 cups water
- 1–2 inches fresh ginger root, thinly sliced or grated
