How to Make Ginger Milk Tea

  1. Peel and thinly slice 1 inch piece of fresh ginger.
  2. In a small saucepan, combine 2 cups of water and the sliced ginger. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat.
  3. Once boiling, reduce heat to low and simmer for 10 minutes to extract maximum ginger flavor.
  4. Remove from heat and add 2 black tea bags (or 2 teaspoons loose leaf black tea). Cover and steep for 5 minutes.
  5. Remove tea bags/strain loose leaf tea. Stir in 1 cup of milk (dairy or non-dairy) and 2 tablespoons of honey or sugar (adjust to your sweetness preference).
  6. Whisk vigorously to combine the milk and tea mixture thoroughly.
  7. (Optional) For a frothy top, use a milk frother or transfer the mixture to a blender and blend until foamy.
  8. Pour into your favorite mug and serve immediately. Garnish with a sprinkle of cinnamon or a ginger slice, if desired.
