Swahili Ginger N’ Milk Tea(Mozambique)

1. 1

   Bring water to a boil.

2. 2

   While it's heating up, grate the ginger. I used about 1/3 of this root, skin and all. Sometimes ginger can be a bit hairy and fibrous. No worries. Even hairy ginger is good for tea making.

3. 3

   Add the ginger and black tea to the boiling water. Simmer for 3-5 minutes.

4. 4

   Next, add milk and sugar. Return to a simmer and let bubble gently for a minute or two, until the sugar dissolves.

5. 5

   1/4 cup of sugar is just right for a moderately sweet, chilled drink. Add a bit less if you're serving the drink hot because sweetness comes through stronger in hot liquid.

6. 6

   Strain and either serve hot, hot, hot or chilled to the bone.
