Days are cold, snow drifts are high, and I’ve been guzzling mug fulls of this warming drink. It greets me each morning with its fresh ginger aroma and gives me the gumption to brave the snowy paths and swirling winter breezes outside my front door. During the cold days of winter I just need a warm and cozy drink to start my day. Though I don’t limit it just to that time. A mug with my afternoon snack, another before bed, this tea concoction is great any time of the day. In fact, I’m sipping a cup as I’m writing this post!
It is quick and easy to prepare, too. Just make the Ginger Juice concentrate (recipe below), and you are set for many mugs of tea. The concentrate is a staple in my fridge this time of year. I add a tablespoon or in so of the concentrate to my Ginger Juice Tea each morning. It is also great iced, or taken as a detox shot (I mix 1-2 tablespoons with a generous dollop of honey and a splash of coconut water).
Add this Ginger Juice to anything you please. I can see it spicing up cocktails galore. Make sure to tell me about your creations! Tag your instagram pics, tweets, etc. with #CatchingSeeds. I love love seeing when you guys make my recipes or use them to inspire your own. It just makes my day, even more than this ginger tea does. And when you taste it, you’ll know what a compliment that truly is!

Thank you!
Thank you! Very excited to make this.
Do you need to peel the ginger?
Hi Jenn! You shouldn’t need to peel the ginger. When you pour it through a fine strainer or coffee filter, it should strain all the skin bits out :) Hope you enjoy!
