Ginger iced tea for something a little different

A strong iced tea, made with fresh ginger. If you’re looking for a change from the usual lemon iced tea, then you should give this bold ginger iced tea a try.

• 5 tbs loose black tea
• 5 cups water
• 1-inch chunk of fresh ginger

Peel and mince the ginger. Crush the ginger pieces to release the juice. Heat water to almost boiling, and steep the tea with ginger. Let steep for 9 to 10 minutes, on low heat. Strain out tea leaves and ginger. Add sugar to sweeten, if desired. Let cool and serve chilled over ice.
