How to Make Ginger Iced Tea
- Place 1 cup thinly sliced fresh ginger in a large, non-aluminum bowl.
- Pour in 4 cups of boiling water, cover, and let stand undisturbed for 24 hours (reducing steep time for better flavor).
- Line a fine-mesh sieve with cheesecloth and place it over a saucepan.
- Strain the ginger water through the sieve into the saucepan. Add 1 cup granulated sugar.
- Bring to a boil over high heat, stirring until the sugar dissolves. Reduce heat to medium-low and simmer, undisturbed, for 10 minutes.
- Remove from the heat and stir in 4-6 black tea bags (adjust to taste). Cover and let steep for 5 minutes.
- Remove tea bags. Strain the tea into a large, heatproof pitcher. Add 6 cups of cold water.
- Stir well, cover, and refrigerate until thoroughly chilled (at least 4 hours).
- For a festive touch: Wet the rims of tall glasses with water. Dip the rims in a mixture of 1 tablespoon finely chopped crystallized ginger and 1 tablespoon sugar.
- Pour the iced tea over ice in the prepared glasses and enjoy!
