YOU'LL NEED:
Two teapots
A kettle
A knife
A teaspoon
One or more teacups
A microwave
INGREDIENTS:
Orange pekoe tea
Fresh ginger root
Milk or lemon
Honey or brown sugar
1. Fill the kettle with water and turn it on.
2. Slice a piece of ginger root (say about 1-2cm) and put it in one teapot.
3. Measure tea leaves into the other teapot: a teaspoon for every cup, and one more for the pot. This amount can be varied according to taste.
4. When water begins to boil, pour it into the first teapot (the one with the ginger) and let it sit for about a minute.
5. Pour the water from the first teapot into the second, and give it a bit of a swirl.
6. Pour it back into the first teapot immediately.
Now, anytime you feel like a cup of tea, pour yourself a cup from the first teapot, microwave it for about a minute and a half, add milk and sugar (or honey and lemon if you prefer) and enjoy. Since the teapot has almost no tea leaves in it, the tea won't be bitter and nasty. Ginger tea works wonders for colds, migraines, and increasing your empathy cred with girlfriends.
