Como fazer Bal

Bring 4 cups of water to a rolling boil in a saucepan. Add 1-inch piece of peeled and thinly sliced ginger, 1 cinnamon stick, 3 whole cloves, 5 whole black peppercorns, and 1 bay leaf.
Return the mixture to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer for 5-7 minutes to allow the spices to infuse, creating a deeply flavorful base.
Remove from heat and stir in 1/4 cup of honey (or to taste). Let it sit for a minute for the honey to melt and incorporate.
Strain the mixture through a fine-mesh sieve or cheesecloth into mugs, discarding the solids.
Serve warm and enjoy the comforting warmth of this authentic Kyrgyz drink!
