3. When the milk comes to a boil, reduce the heat to a low - medium.
4. Add tea dust and let this boil for 2 min. Make sure the milk turns slightly brown before adding ginger. Else the milk will curdle.
5. Now add the ginger paste along with the remaining 1/4 cup of water.Let this boil for 2 - 3 min. in a medium heat.
6. Now add sugar and boil for another min.
7. Filter out the tea into cups.
8. Pour the tea back and forth (twice or thrice) between two cups with arc - like motions of the hand.

Note

1. Never add ginger to milk. This will curdle the milk for sure. Always add ginger once the milk turns little brown because of the added tea dust.
2. Its better to use whole milk than low fat & skim milk because reduced fat milk will be too watery which will not suitable for a good tea.
3. Having a cup of ginger tea everyday avoids the problems of indigestion & gastric troubles.
