How to make a Ginger Decoction?.

Ingredients:

1 to 1.5 inch Ginger Root( I thoroughly wash the ginger root, but I do not peel it)

2 cups of water

1 Cinnamon stick( I add cinnamon for the taste. I don’t know of any health benefit of Cinnamon)

Put all the ingredients in a vessel(or kettle), cover it, and simmer for ten minutes. Strain the decoction, and then enjoy your tasty,healthy drink. The Ginger Decoction is best drunk hot.

I took a picture the last time I made this decoction. The picture was taken after I strained the ginger decoction (the cinnamon sticks we get here are quite small, as you can see from the picture).

The decoction will look like this.
