16oz water + 1 bag Afternoon Blend + 1 cube crystallized ginger, sliced + 1tsp raw sugar + 1/2 tsp honey at 200F for 1 min (leave ginger in a few minutes longer for more flavour)
I’m not going to say that this is amazing, by any means, but the addition of ginger gives an otherwise bland (and unenthusiastic) tea enough kick to make it drinkable. Yay, me.

Overstressed aspiring model…tea is what gets me moving in the mornings, calms me down at night and fills all the moments in-between.
I’m still in the everything is delicious and I want to drink it all phase of my exploration, so I’m open to swaps, TTBs and trying new things. (with the exception of jasmine…that icky stuff tastes like soap)
My cupboard is things I have and am willing to swap (either I didn’t like them that much or I have a lot of them) and my wishlist is mostly things I’ve tasted and want to buy or swap for in the future.

I love ginger tea. Where I spent time in India that was the most common form of chai. Sometimes they called it baci chai ( think Italian pronunciation) which scared me at first because a baci lasso meant a very different thing.
