I love this ginger stuff (picture to the right) which is basically ginger sitting in honey. I couldn’t find any online but it’s available at most Asian markets in New York.
Many people just dissolve a teaspoon or two in hot water for simple ginger tea but one of my favorite winter drinks is a hot cup of Ginger Milk Tea. Here’s the basic recipe which you can adjust to your taste:
2 teaspoons of that ginger stuff
1 cup of boiling water
1 teaspoon sugar
1 teaspoon heavy cream
1 tea bag (black tea)
1. Place the ginger stuff in a mug and dissolve with hot water.
2. Add sugar and heavy cream and stir.
3. Dunk tea bag and remove tea bag depending on how bitter/strong you like your tea.
It’s so good; I’m about to make my third cup of the day.

I tried this recipe and must say that I really liked it! Very good indeed!
Thanks! I’ll try this. Have you been to St. Alps on 3rd Avenue between 10th and 11th St? They make a Ginger Black Tea with milk that I like a lot.
I have been to St. Alps. I find them very inconsistent so I stopped going years ago.
Hey, where’s the tapioca?
I’m tapioca’s out.
