Servings: 2

1” piece of fresh ginger root, about 1/2” in diameter 1” piece of fresh ginger root, about ½” in diameter
1 heaping spoonful of dark brown sugar 1 heaping spoonful of dark brown sugar
Honey, to taste Honey, to taste

Peel ginger root using the edge of a spoon. Slice into very thin pieces.
Pour about 2-½ cups of water into a small saucepan. Add ginger slices and brown sugar. Bring just to boiling and gently boil, uncovered, for about 15 minutes. Turn off heat and let sit for a minute to cool slightly.
Set a strainer in the top of a teacup and pour tea through it to strain out ginger slices. Stir in a spoonful of honey.

My favorite way to strain into a cup is to use an inexpensive mesh stainless sink strainer. It fits the top of most cups and jars, and is easy to clean.  My favorite way to strain into a cup is to use an inexpensive mesh stainless sink strainer.
