Salabat :)


http://lutongpinoy.info/salabat-ginger-brew/

Salabat is Filipino ginger tea that's especially popular during the relatively cool month of December in the Philippines.

SALABAT (GINGER BREW) INGREDIENTS
1/2 kilo ginger
brown sugar

SALABAT (GINGER BREW) PROCEDURES
1. Peel and grate ginger. Use a food processor to puree the ginger until fine. Extract the juice by straining the
ginger through a sieve. (Another way is to wrap the ginger in a cheesecloth and squeeze out the juice.)
2. Add 2 cups brown sugar to every cup of ginger juice. Combine these in a saucepan
3. Over medium heat, cook the mixture until thick, stirring constantly.
4. Reduce heat. Continue cooking and stirring until the mixture becomes dry and powder-like. Allow to cool.
5. Use a food processor or a mortar and pestle to pound the mixture into a fine powder. Transfer to a canister or plastic bag.
6. To prepare hot brew, dissolve several teaspoons of instant salabat in a cup of hot water.
