    ⚙ SimmeringStove
    💡A gentle simmer, not a boil: a hard boil dries the food out and clouds it, a slow simmer cooks it evenly.
  4. 4
    Add the tea bags, steep 3 minutes and remove them.
  5. 5
    Add the unsweetened soy milk and sugar and heat, stirring, to a gentle boil.
  6. 6
    Strain the drink into cups.
    Fine sieve
    💡Strain through a fine strainer, so no whole spices or ginger fibers end up in the cup.
  7. 7
    Serve hot.
