How to Make Ginger Tea Salabat

  1. Peel and thinly slice 1 thumb-sized piece of ginger.
  2. In a small saucepan, combine the sliced ginger, 2 cups of water, and 1 tablespoon of brown sugar (or to taste).
  3. Bring the mixture to a boil over medium-high heat.
  4. Reduce heat to low and simmer for 5-7 minutes, allowing the ginger flavor to infuse the water.
  5. Remove from heat and strain the tea into a mug, using a fine-mesh sieve to remove the ginger slices.
  6. Add a squeeze of lemon or calamansi juice (optional), and honey or more brown sugar to sweeten further (optional).
  7. Add more hot water if needed to adjust the strength to your preference.
