Ingredients :

• Fresh Ginger — This is what gives it character. Fresh is much more vibrant than powder — spicier, more fragrant, with a light lemony note not found in the dried format. Pick a firm piece, with no soft spots or wrinkled skin. No need to peel it if you strain it later.
• Turmeric — Powdered or fresh, both work. Powder is more convenient and gives that beautiful intense golden hue. If you find fresh turmeric — it looks like miniature ginger with thinner skin — the taste is slightly milder and earthier. Warning: it stains absolutely everything it touches.
• Cinnamon — A whole stick is better than powder here. It infuses gently and gives a rounder, less harsh flavor. If you only have powder on hand, half a teaspoon is enough, and strain well.
• Honey — Any liquid honey does the trick. Always add it off the heat — once heated, it loses its qualities and its taste goes completely flat. This is rule number one with honey, and it’s the one everyone ignores.
