Indonesian Ginger Coffee

After having a large glass of cider with my lunch of roast pork, I needed a beverage that would pick me up.  I am afraid the cider went straight to my head and I am now rather soporific, which is not conducive to a day of watching Korean dramas.

I found this coffee recipe, which sounds good and easy to make.

Ingredients:

1 inch cube fresh ginger (or a frozen ready to use chopped ginger)

Coffee enough for a mug/cup or for sharing (filtered is also suitable but takes few minutes of wait:)

Demerara Sugar according to taste.

How to Prepare:

If not using a ready prepared ginger from a supermarket :), peel the ginger and then dice coarsely.

Place the chopped ginger in a milk pan or saucepan with water enough for a cup (or more for sharing).

Bring the water to a boil, then lower down the heat and leave the ginger simmering for 10-15 minutes.

If using instant coffee granules, put a teaspoonful in a cup and top with the ginger broth using a strainer to take out the ginger.

Stir in the sugar and drink this refreshingly aromatic concoction and be happy.

If using a filtered coffee, pour in the ginger broth directly into the cafetiere and let it filter.

Pour into a cup or cups and add  sugar.

Enjoy!
