Method

Restated from the original video

1. 1

   Scrape the skin off the ginger with the back of a knife rather than peeling it, so the flavor stays in. Slice the ginger and crush it lightly with the flat of the knife.

2. 2

   Put the water, ginger, cinnamon and cloves in a heavy pot and bring to a boil.

3. 3

   Lower the heat, cover and simmer for 10 min.

4. 4

   Take the pot off the heat, keep it covered and let the spices steep for 15 min.

5. 5

   Strain into a clean pot and warm it until steaming, without letting it boil.

6. 6

   Stir in the honey until dissolved. Taste and add more if you want it sweeter, or stir a spoonful into each mug instead.

7. 7

   Serve hot in mugs.
