How to peel ginger quickly without a knife: a simple technique
Ginger is a wonderful spice that complements the taste of any dish or drink as it has many beneficial properties. However, since it's a root, it's quite a challenge to peel it. And if you can't do it with a knife, you can use a much simpler method.
A simple life hack for peeling ginger with a spoon was published by the American publication EatThis, NotThat.
You don't need a special tool to peel this oddly shaped root. Since the peel is quite thin, you can simply scrape it off the sides and around the intricate rounded edges with a metal spoon.
Peeled ginger can be used to make a delicious warming tea. The idea was published on the Instagram page of blogger Taisa (taisa_geraskina).

7. Let it brew for 10 minutes.
8. It is better to add honey and lemon juice when the tea has cooled to about 50-60 degrees as all the beneficial properties of honey are destroyed in hot water.
