  • Simmer, Don't Boil: Simmering extracts the ginger's flavor and aroma without overpowering the milk.
  • Adjust Sweetness: Adjust the amount of sugar or honey according to your taste preference.
  • Strain for Smoothness: Strain the milk through a fine-mesh sieve to remove any ginger bits for a smooth texture.
  • Garnish for Presentation: Garnish with grated ginger or a cinnamon stick for an extra touch of flavor and visual appeal.
