Ginger Orange Tea

We've been making this for some time but just recently came up with the ginger. It adds something undefinable but good.

  • 1 tea bag - Brooke Bond Red Label or other simple tea. (Brooke Bond Red Label is an Orange Pekoe tea grown in India. It tastes wonderful hot. Cold...not so much.)
  • 1 cup water - boil water and add tea bag, steeping for 3 minutes (don't tell anyone, but sometimes I nuke it with the bag in the water for a minute and a half)
Make the tea pretty strong
  • 1 Tbsp orange juice concentrate - three teaspoons are easier to measure if it's still frozen. This is the concentrate right out of the can. Don't prepare it by adding water.
  • 1 thin slice of fresh finger about the size of a US nickel - no need to peel (If you aren't in the US, that's about 2 cm diameter and 1 mm thick.)
  • 1 tsp white sugar
Stir and drink hot
