1 teaspoon finely grated ginger
6 drops stevia liquid

Simple Ginger Tea Recipe
Ingredients
1 1⁄2 teaspoons freshly grated gingerroot
1 1⁄2 cups boiling water
1 1⁄2 teaspoons white sugar
Method
Place grated ginger into a 2-cup glass measuring cup.
Fill to the 1-1/2 cup line with boiling water.
Set timer for 10 minutes.
When timer goes off, strain into a large mug and stir in sugar
(you may need more or less, depending on how sweet you want your tea).
Taste; if it's too strong (too gingery) for you, add a little more boiling water to your mug, but I found the strong taste really grew on me, so I hope you try it this way first!
Sip and enjoy!
Note#1: If that's too much, you can use just 1 tsp grated ginger and just 1 cup of boiling water, but I like a big mug.
Note#2: a squeeze of lemon can be added, and maple syrup is an interesting replacement for the white sugar.
Note#3: If you triple or quadruple this recipe, you can make a lovely pot of ginger tea instead of a single serving.

Simple Hot Ginger Tea Recipe
Ingredients
Fresh ginger root - approx 3 ounces
Boiled water - approx 3 cups
Honey or maple syrup or brown sugar - to taste, as sweeteners (optional)
Apple or lemon (optional)
Method
Wash the ginger. Scrub it well.
Peel the ginger and slice it thinly, in small pieces. Use caution when cutting the ginger.
Peeling is optional, if you have washed it well.
Boil the water.
There are several ways to perform the next step - the method will depend on your preference:
Pour the boiled water into a teapot into which you have already placed the freshly sliced ginger.
Put the lid on the teapot to stop the pot from cooling down too quickly and to keep the aromatic ingredients in the tea. Steep for 10 - 15 minutes.
If you boil the water in a saucepan rather than in a kettle, you can add the ginger to the saucepan and simmer for 15 - 20 minutes. After simmering let it sit for 5 minutes before pouring.
Use a tea ball to hold the sliced ginger and steep in a cup for 15 minutes.
Make sure to use a saucer to cover the top of the cup to prevent the aromatic elements from escaping.
Strain the tea after steeping or boiling and serve.
Add sweeteners or flavour if desired.
Drink hot, at room temperature or cold - as preferred.

Speedy Spicy Fresh Ginger Tea 
(or Apple-Spice Ginger Tea)
Ingredients
6 cups purified or spring water
1 1/2 Tbsp fresh ginger, peeled and roughly chopped into small bits
2 medium lemons, juiced (about 1/2 cup fresh lemon juice)
1/8 tsp cayenne
1/4 tsp cinnamon (or a cinnamon stick)
1/4 cup maple syrup, grade B (or another sweetener, adjust to taste)
Method
Add 2 cups of water and the fresh ginger to a high speed blender.
Blend from low to high for about 60 seconds, until the water turns a light yellow color and all of the ginger has been pulverized. A few tiny clumps is OK, as they will be strained later.
Pour this ginger mixture along with the remaining 4 cups of water into a large pot and bring to a boil.
Add in the cinnamon or cinnamon stick. Reduce heat to low and simmer for 5-10 minutes. 
Note: If you have a Vitamix, you could also just use the "soup" feature to warm your tea!
When the simmering time is up, pour the tea back into the blender container, but use a mesh strainer to catch any of the ginger pulp and particles.
A large mesh strainer will make things easiest, although a small strainer could work too.
You could also use a nut milk back if needed.
Add the lemon juice, cayenne and sweetener to the blender as well and do a quick thirty second blend on low to mix the ingredients.
Take a sip and add additional cayenne or sweetener to taste. Serve warm.
Store leftovers in the fridge and serve chilled or re-warm in a microwave or on your stovetop.
Or even in your blender on "soup" setting.

Tips
If you only want to make one cup of tea, simply grate 3 teaspoons of ginger to one cup boiling water.
If you have ginger tea left over, store in a jug in the refrigerator. It can be reheated or drunk as iced tea.
Try adding a pinch of cinnamon to the tea for a spicy zing.
You can also grate ginger and wrap in plastic wrap, roll it up like a candy and store in freezer for later use, by breaking off what you need.
A tisane is a form of medicinal preparation and provides therapeutic benefits. If you are using the tisane for medicinal purposes, do not add sweeteners.
You can use juices from any fruit if you want your tea to have a sweet taste.
Ginger works synergistically with peppermint. (A synergistic reaction is one whereby the effect of combining two or more agents is greater than the simple sum of the individual agents.) It can be added safely to any tea.
If you want to increase the heat effect of the tea, add a pinch of cayenne pepper.
Spins on Ginger Tea:

Add maple syrup as a cozy vegan sweetener
Add a whole fresh apple, blend and strain the pulp for a apple-cider-ginger tea
Add a dandelion tea bag for a detoxifying morning tea (I add lemon and cayenne too)
Add a bedtime or chamomile tea bag to calm your nerves
Add some fresh or extract vanilla for a sweet aroma
Add turmeric for a wellness super-spice boost
Add fresh orange peel and juice for a citrus-ginger spin
