Indians or not, when it comes to beverages, tea and coffee are our most sought-after drinks to get us going every day. Ain’t I right, fellas? And especially Tea or Chai as it is called in India has a totally different zing that gives a nice kick to call it a good morning.
Ginger Tea or Adrak Wali Chai doesn’t need an introduction in any Indian household. A mug filled with Adrak Wali Chai and plateful munchies is just what you need to unwind yourself after a busy day.
I love to savor this Indian milk tea especially during the monsoon when the air is moist and cold and your favorite Adrak Wali Chai gives you that much needed warmth.

Tips to make best Homemade Ginger Tea Recipe
Use fresh ginger to make Ginger tea. Dry ginger powder has avery different taste and I personally love it in my curries but not in tea.
You can increase the quantity of ginger if you like really strong flavour.
Add the milk only once the water and ginger has nicely boiled. If you add it before, the milk might curdle.
You can add more milk if you like it. I like my tea very strong hence I always add less milk to it.
You can also add a pod of crushed cardamom, cloves and nutmeg powder to your ginger tea to elevate the taste.
A few pinch of this Chai Masala Powder will only add to the taste. So go ahead and add some in your ginger tea too.
Use best quality tea leaves to make ginger tea.This is what I use.
Use a fine mesh strainer to strain the tea otherwise the powder from the tea will come in your cup which is not a good idea. Check this one here.
Ginger tea for Cold
Ginger itself is a great remedy for common cold and cough but adding a few more ingredients to your everyday ginger tea will make sure you get rid of the cold very fast.
I like to add some crushed peppercorns, cloves, a few leaves of tulsi or holy basil and cinnamon to my ginger tea if I or my family members are down with cold. Try this trick and see the effect yourself.
You can also add turmeric powder to your tea for even more health benefits from it.
