Crushed ginger releases its characteristic warm and bright aroma when hydrated. It is ideal for making teas, broths, marinades, sauces and sweet preparations like syrups, cookies or fruit compotes.
It pairs wonderfully with lemon, honey and warming spices. A fun detail: ginger is a key component of the famous Indian chai.
Infuse 1 teaspoon of crushed ginger in hot water for 5–8 minutes, then add lemon and sweeten if desired.
