- Tip
Hot Stuff
Start by adding a 1cm-thick slice of the ginger, then tastes the smoothie and if you think ti could do with more of a ginger kick, add another slice. Any leftover ginger will keep well in your fridge. Try coarsely grating it and steeping it with boiling water and spoonful of honey for a few mins, then straining and serving the sweet ginger tea.
