Easygingertea Recipes

Steps:

• Place grated ginger into a 2-cup glass measuring cup.
• Fill to the 1-1/2 cup line with boiling water.
• Set timer for 10 minutes.
• When timer goes off, strain into a large mug and stir in sugar (you may need more or less, depending on how sweet you want your tea).
• Taste; if it's too strong (too gingery) for you, add a little more boiling water to your mug, but I found the strong taste really grew on me, so I hope you try it this way first!
• Sip and enjoy!
• Note#1: If that's too much, you can use just 1 tsp grated ginger and just 1 cup of boiling water, but I like a big mug.
• Note#2: a squeeze of lemon can be added, and maple syrup is an interesting replacement for the white sugar.
• Note#3: If you triple or quadruple this recipe, you can make a lovely pot of ginger tea instead of a single serving.

Steps:

• Bring 8 cups water and 1 cup thinly sliced unpeeled ginger to a simmer in a saucepan; simmer until reduced to 5 cups, about 25 minutes. Sweeten with 1/4 cup honey and divide among mugs (strain, if desired). Dust with cinnamon.

Steps:

• In a saucepan bring water to a boil. Add lemon juice, the squeezed lemon, and ginger. Let steep about 20 minutes. Stir in honey. Line a strainer with a thin wet cloth and strain tea into a pitcher. Chill thoroughly and serve on ice with thin slices of lemon and lime.

Steps:

• Bring water to a boil and remove from heat.
• Cut lemon and ginger into thin slices. Add to the hot water.
• Steep for 5-10 minutes.
• Strain and pour tea into mug.
• Add honey, stir, and serve.
• Enjoy!

Steps:

• Combine chopped candied ginger slices and hot water in a bowl.
• Allow to steep for at least 20 minutes; the longer it steeps, the more pronounced the ginger flavor will be. Stir water and drain to remove candied ginger slices, reserving water into another container. Serve water heated like tea or drink cold.

Steps:

• Cut the lemon in half. Squeeze the juice from one half and slice the rest. Divide the lemon juice and slices between 2 mugs, along with the sliced ginger.
• Fill the mugs with boiling water and leave to steep for 3 mins or until cool enough to sip. Sweeten with honey if you like.

Steps:

• Lightly grease a 25cm square (10 inch) cake tin and line it with baking (silicone) paper.
• (Try to use the correct size tin or the cake may crack.) Set the oven to moderate 180° C (350° F).
• Sift all of the dry ingredients into a medium mixing bowl.
• Combine butter pieces, golden syrup and treacle in a small saucepan, cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally until butter is melted.
• (This step can also be done in the microwave.) Add water to syrup mixture.
• Make a well in the centre of the dry ingredients and add the syrup mixture and the eggs.
• Mix until well combined.
• Don’t be concerned that the mixture is quite liquid at this stage.
• Pour cake mixture into prepared tin.
• Tap tin lightly on bench to dispel air bubbles.
• Place on centre shelf of 180° C (350° F) oven for 35-40 minutes.
• Check towards the end of the baking time to ensure the edges are not burning.
• The cake should be dark but must not be blackened at the edges.
• (If you do burn the edges, cut them off and ice over the edges and no-one will notice!).
• When the cake is cooked, remove it from the oven and allow it to cool for 5-10 minutes.
• Then, carefully invert it onto a rack or bread board to cool.
• Icing the Cake: Sift the icing sugar into a small mixing bowl.
• In a separate small mixing bowl, beat the butter (or margarine) until smooth.
• Gradually add the sifted icing sugar, beating between additions until the sugar is completely mixed with the butter.
• Add the lemon juice and beat well until the mixture reaches an easily spreadable consistency.
• Spread icing over the top of the cake and (optional) decorate with pieces of crystallised ginger.
