Adventageddon Day 11
Today’s tea is just straight up ginger, which I really wasn’t very enthused about at all. I really struggled with trying to think about how I’d brew this in a way that would be palatable to me. At one point I considered a hot tea just packed with honey, but in the end I decided to go with something a bit more “fun”.
What I did was brew the whole packet in a couple of ounces of boiling water along with a little sweetener until I had a super ginger-y concentrate. Like, super gingery. I think I steeped it for maybe two or three hours. Then I dumped that in a mug and topped it with sparkling water. Basically, my own version of a ginger beer or ginger ale. More like a ginger beer though, I suppose, because it definitely had that earthy and spicy kick to it and wasn’t quite as sweet as a ginger ale even with my modest sweetener addition.
It was, in my opinion, a pretty good way to salvage what was a pretty disappointing sight when opening up the advents this morning.
