This Chinese drink is made by simmering fresh ginger with brown sugar. Warming and spiced, it is a classic accompaniment to afternoon tea.
Peel the ginger and crush it with the flat side of a knife or a mortar and pestle to release the fibers.
Put the water, crushed ginger, cinnamon stick, and cloves in a saucepan and bring to a boil. Simmer over low heat for 20 minutes to infuse the water with ginger flavor.
Add the brown sugar and simmer for 5 minutes more, until dissolved. Strain the tea into cups.
The longer you simmer the ginger, the sharper the tea will taste. For a milder flavor, reduce the simmering time to 15 minutes.
