How to make your own SALABAT

Salabat is simply ginger tea. I like making my own salabat from freshly boiled ginger. Sure, there are a lot of powder salabat available in groceries and they taste better, too, because of the added muscuvado. But boiling your own ginger tea is cheaper and nothing beats the taste of fresh tea.

You only need a thumb-sized ginger, two cups of water, and a pan. Peel the ginger and mince it using a knife. Put it in a pan with the water. You can use lesser than 2 cups of water to adjust the taste of your salabat.

Tip: It's easier to peel the ginger using a spoon.

Boil your salabat for 10 minutes then set it aside for a while to cool. Strain the salabat before pouring it into a cup. It's now time to enjoy your homemade hot salabat.

Salabat is a great way to warm you up in cold days (or nights). It's also good for those who have cough, colds, or flu. Also, I started boiling my own salabat when I learned that it is a good alternative medicine for hormonal imbalance.
