is Ginger tea or tisane, an infusion made from fresh or dried ginger and water. Ginger tea is consumed for its many healthful benefits and is used in both traditional and alternative medicine to aid in circulation, digestion, to alleviate inflammation, improve the sense of taste, to help fight and alleviate respiratory ailments, particularly cold symptoms, and in fighting cancer, as well as having many other benefits.
Though there are many prepackaged dried ginger teas available, a typical recipe for ginger tea can be made by roughly chopping a 2-inch length of unpeeled ginger root, placing it in one quart of water, brought to a boil and then reduced to a simmer for 15 minutes. Finally, strain and serve with an orange slice if desired.
