Gingerroot Black Tea

A delicious tea that’s especially festive for the holiday season is my recipe for Gingerroot Black Tea from The Age Gracefully Cookbook. The fresh ginger in the tea provides protection from inflammation thereby easing arthritis and allergy symptoms. Black tea has many healthful properties including flavonoids, which help strengthen blood vessel walls and improve concentration.

Ingredients

¼ inch gingerroot, peeled and sliced thinly
2 black teabags
2 cups boiling water
2 rock sugar stirrers (optional)

Procedure

1. Combine the gingerroot and the teabags in a pitcher with the boiling water. Steep for 1-3 minutes; strain.
2. Pour into two teacups; serve with rock sugar stirrers, if desired
