Step cooking
- Bring 1.2 liters of purified drinking water to a boil in a small saucepan or saucepan. Peel a piece of ginger root weighing 50 grams from the peel with a knife or a potato peeler. Rub the ginger onto a coarse grater.
- Pour the grated root into boiled water, reduce the heat to small. Cook for 30-40 seconds. Remove the stewpan (saucepan) from the stove, cover with a lid or plate. Ginger has a burning taste, with unaccustomed tea may seem to you too burning. First time, make it less saturated by reducing the amount of ginger.
- Wash citrus fruits with a brush thoroughly under hot water: 2 limes, 1 lemon, 1 grapefruit. Cut lime and lemon into rings or halves of rings 3-4 mm thick.
- Cut the grapefruit into medium sized pieces with the skin.
- Dip chopped citrus fruits in a ginger drink, which has cooled to a temperature of approximately 60 ° C. Before laying the fruit, you can mash them so that they let the juice go. Allow the liquid to cool to such a temperature as to retain as much ascorbic acid as possible in the drink. It is not advisable to put citrus fruits in a boiling liquid, since most of the vitamin C is destroyed at high temperature. Cover the stewpan or pan for another 5-6 minutes.
- Strain fruit tea through a sieve into a jug or other utensil. Squeeze the juice from the fruit, add to the rest of the liquid.
- Pour the tea into cups, in each bowl put 1 dessert spoon of honey and 2-3 circles of lemon. Natural honey enhances immunity, has anti-inflammatory, bactericidal and firming properties.
You can add a little ground cinnamon, mint or lemon balm, several slices of feijoa to the piquant drink.
