Crafting Your Ginger Milk
Ingredients:
Fresh ginger root
Milk (your choice of dairy or plant-based)
Preparation:
Prepare the Ginger: Start by peeling and finely grating or slicing a piece of fresh ginger root. This process helps to release the ginger’s active compounds and maximize its flavor and health benefits.
Boil the Milk: Pour milk into a small saucepan and heat it until it reaches a gentle boil. The amount of milk depends on how many servings you’re preparing.
Infuse with Ginger:
Once the milk is boiling, add the prepared ginger. The quantity of ginger can be adjusted based on how strong you prefer the flavor.
Simmer: Reduce the heat and let the mixture simmer for a few minutes. This step allows the milk to fully absorb the essence and benefits of the ginger.
Strain and Enjoy: Use a strainer to remove the ginger pieces from the milk. Pour the infused milk into your favorite cup and savor the warmth and comfort it brings.
