This tea reminds me a bit of chai, but has a really good mellow flavor all its own. Making it from scratch makes your house smell wonderful and I like to keep a pitcher of it in the fridge and drink it over ice with a splash of soy milk added. This recipe follows the traditional recipe with a minor tweak here and there to suit our tastes. My son loves this tea and we go through at least a pitcher a week.

1-inch piece of fresh ginger, sliced
