Ginger
has long been a popular healthful herb. Ginger root is actually a rhizome,
a root-like underground stem. It has been used in China since the 4th
century B.C. Ginger traditionally was used as a warming beverage. It was a
popular drink, consumed during meals and at other times of the day. It is
said that the Chinese scholar Confucius had ginger nearby at every meal.
It was regarded as a tonic for yang “chi”, or energy, and was a
favorite infusion during the cold and chills season. Ginger was brought to
the West from Asia, where it has been used as a healthy herb and food
spice for 2,000 years or more! Ginger has become increasingly popular
because of its delicious, warming and spicy taste. 100% pure ginger root
sets this tea apart from other ginger tea blends and gives you the maximum
amount of ginger taste! Our ginger tea is delicious hot or iced. Enjoy it
as is, or try adding lemon and honey and your favorite sweetener. BREWING
DIRECTIONS: HOT
TEA: Pour 1 cup of boiling water over a tea bag. Let steep 10-15 minutes
or longer. Squeeze the tea bag gently into the cup. Leave in cup as
drinking. ICED
TEA: Pour 1 cup of boiling water over 2 tea bags. Let steep 10-15 minutes.
Remove tea bags, squeeze gently into the cup, then add ice. For
a stronger effect, simmer a tea bag in 1 cup of water for 5-15 minutes. We
recommend re-using the tea bag to extract more ginger taste and benefits.
