Ginger Green tea recipe and Adrak wali chai

Step by step ginger tea / adrak  chai with photos. Various combination with cardamom, fennel, cinnamon and mint are also suggested. 

Ginger is a root used as spice. It is one of my favorite spices. It has slightly tangy taste when added to tea. Now, I love variety. I just can’t go to kitchen and cook the same tea everyday like a robot. If I have to; every sip of that flat tea will tell you that I can’t do the same thing with same passion everyday. When it comes to tea, I’m not satisfied until I have tried every known or imaginable combination. And then….I can’t select the best. Because it all depends on your mood. Take the example of this ginger tea. When you have cold, ginger green tea seems best. When you have headache, plain and strong ginger tea never lets you down. On a tired day when you want to relax, ginger and fragrant cardamom tea seem is a hit. And after spicy dinner, ginger mint tea is a good option. For heart burns, ginger fennel tea combo kicks it. So you see how would you decide the best. After giving a good thinking for this post, I thought to leave it to the readers. Does anyone else also feel the same as me?
