Ooh drinks. I have a wide variety of fruit and flower tea bags. At the moment I’m drinking an apple infusion (teabags). But I have lemon and ginger, rose, mint, camomile, green tea with lemon, and a loose leaf infusion tea with apple and mint. Sometimes I put honey in the apple tea, or the lemon and ginger one. For hot chocolate I sometimes put a sprinkle of ground ginger, or ground cinnamon in. I’ve tried allspice, but it ends up quite grainy. Sometimes I buy little sachets of chocolate powder with salted caramel flavour in. I love the sound of your special tea, it must taste fab. We no longer have a specialist tea and coffee seller in town, sadly.

If it’s ordinary tea, it has to be Yorkshire Tea, or Lifeboat Tea, as the bags do two cups.

Love this.I make so many types of teas much like your "ginger tea".All under the classification chai and kashai.

Yet this week here is a recipe I do daily:water boiled with ginger cut into a coin slice pounded with a stone mortar, thrown smashed coin of ginger thrown into boiling water with few fresh cut lemongrass leaves,followed by a spoon of black tea,boiled for 1 minute more then turned off to pour into a mug adding some (1/4 spoon of brown sugar( jaggery) and a few drops of milk clouds...that's my wintery cup this week.
