I learned way more from the comments. Thank you peeps.

I've been taking 2 ginger capsules daily for 1 year n my health n mood has become 100% better from all 4 corners

This way is too weak for GINGER TEA, that's ginger flavoured water. For REAL Ginger Tea, you boil peeled ginger (small chunks or thin slices) for approx. 15 mins, remove from burner, let it seep for about 2 - 3 mins, then strain it as you pour it into a cup. The longer you boil it and let it sit, the stronger it gets. I put peeled ginger (chopped into small chunks or slices) in a freezer bag and freeze it. It's great when you're not feeling well (indigestion, cold or flu), you can put a fistful in the pot to make tea without having to stop to peel or chop. NEVER boil honey, add it after you've strained the tea into a cup if desired. If your drinking it for indigestion, DO NOT add honey. For cold/flu or just to enjoy, add honey & lemon after its strained.

Years ago I learned from my Indian Guru to NEVER put honey into boiling water/tea etc because boiling water destroys certain enzymes in the honey. Just let your tea or other beverage sit a couple of minutes before adding the honey.
I think it's just one of those things that once you've learned you can't unlearn.

Ginger is gold. I have severe digestion issues - fasting and ginger tea helps. Organic only. ✨✨

I use a cheese grate and shread the ginger and garlic into a cup, then pour the hot boiling water into cup and let sit for 5 minutes. Then filter it to a fresh cup.
Last I add honey and lemon. It's an amazing drink.

Really enjoy drinking ginger tea with crystallized ginger slices, honey and squeezed lemon of which I also add lemon peels. While drinking my tea I do eat the ginger slices and lemon peels. Loving the steam it gives with the flavor of the combination. Cayenne pepper will be a new and improved personal challenge that I'm down for

The small, knobby ginger root with deep, rich, yellow color is the absolute best! Definitely buy organic and wash the ginger root very well if you're not doing a full peel.

I’m saving this video but only for the comment section, I’ve learned so much from the people in comments 🥰🤓🤠😎🙏🏼💯

I make my own GINGER water. I add 1 tbsp/cup of coffee & 1/4 tsp. of TURMERIC w/B. PEPPER. I have grown fond of the taste.

[BigJake]

Add honey and lemon after boiling ginger, to preserve nutrition

[angelaloving]

I love love love ginger tea with 🍋 lemon!

[lady]

People wash your ginger. If you buy it from the store and its not organic take the skin off. Do not add honey to the pot.Boil for along time, perhaps 20-30 min's

[NeoNeoza]

i like ginger so much. I also enjoy ginger shots

[liyahtasliyah]

Instead of honey or sugar, i put cinnamon stick.Because cinamon stick is naturally sweet, well sweet enough for me at least

[missunderstood]

Lol the ginger brings out the red heads

[gloriatr]

These guys should have a guest from Ethiopia to teach them how to make Real ginger tea.

[howardholesapple]

Whats with all of the red hair in the audience...lol

[jennygibbons]

The skin is most nutrient dense part of most growing things and shouldn’t be peeled if possible.

[nilkhan]

You would lose benefit of honey if you boil it. Never put honey in boiling water, put it when water cools down a little, before drinking.
