SC - Ginger

[Sue Clemenger]

Hello, back, from Montana, where my part (at least) is also wet and
grey...although we have snow, too.
I'm a big fan of ginger tea (actually, ginger in general <g>).  It's
great for tummy upsets and motion sickness.
When I want the stuff you find in tea bags, I go to my local Oriental
market, or to a health food store in town that sells it.  If you don't
have anything like that in your part of Denmark, you could probably
pretty successfully make your own, using grated fresh ginger root
(enclosed in a tea ball or something), or perhaps candied ginger root,
or even the dried and powdered stuff.  You'd have to experiment some
with the amounts, of course.  I don't know about any period recipes for
it, though....

I have been told that it was a real Medieval recipy, but everybody did forget to ask for the recipy at the local Medieval market this year (2000). And as I am working at a Library, everybody think that I can answer every question - so I try, and therefore this question. Ok, I tasted just a little, and it was really good, suppose it will be great in this cold time of the year....
