Tangawiss is a ginger drink with a clean bite and a long, warm finish. This sample tutorial makes a small pitcher for sharing.
Ingredients
- 150 g fresh ginger, peeled and roughly chopped
- 1.5 L water
- 3–4 tbsp sugar or honey, to taste
- 2 limes, juiced
- Ice, to serve
Method
- Blend the ginger with 250 ml of the water until coarsely ground.
- Pour the mixture into a saucepan with the remaining water. Bring to a gentle simmer for 10–12 minutes.
- Remove from the heat and strain through a fine sieve. Discard the solids.
- Stir in the sugar or honey while the liquid is still warm. Cool completely.
- Add the lime juice, taste, and adjust the sweetness or bite. Serve over ice.
A note from the kitchen
For a sharper drink, steep the grated ginger without simmering for as long. For a softer finish, simmer a little longer and strain twice.
