I love ginger tea / inji tea a lot. Before marriage, when I was working I used to go with my friend to a nearby canteen at least twice a day just to have this tea. It was a flavorful, mild and tasty tea. After this, I never had a tea similar to that taste.
Last week when I was surfing the net I came across a ginger tea recipe which is a bit different from the usual one we make. I immediately tried it on the same evening. To my surprise, I found its taste similar to the one I had in canteen.. I was very much satisfied.
Though ginger tea is not a special, unique recipe to share with, I wanted to have this post in my blog. So here comes the inji tea recipe with a picture for you all.
Ingredients:
1 cup – 250ml
- Boiled Milk – 1 cup
- Water – 1/2 cup
- Tea powder – 1.5 tsp ( I used 3 roses tea powder)
- Ginger – 2 inches (crush a little)
- Cardamom – 1 no ( crush with skin, optional)
- Sugar – 1.5 – 2 tsp ( depends)
Method:
- In a wide mouthed bowl, add water and the crushed ginger & cardamom.
- Allow it to boil for 3 mins in low flame so that the ginger gets cooked in the water and gets a nice flavor.
- Then add the milk , sugar , tea powder. Allow it to boil for 2 mins in medium flame.
- Strain the tea sediments and enjoy !!
Serve hot with snacks !!
Note :The ginger should be well cooked before you add the milk and other ingredients. The essence of ginger would be well absorbed into the water..
