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).

Ingredients:

• water - 1.2-1.5 liters
• ginger - a piece of 5 cm long
• honey - 1-2 tbsp
• lemon 1 pc
• tea
• rose hips - 3-4 pcs
• cloves - 3-4 pcs
• turmeric - 1/3 tsp

Method of preparation:

1. Peel ginger.

2. Cut into pieces or grate.

3. Bring water to a boil in a saucepan.

4. Add the cooked ginger and turmeric and cloves (if desired) to the boiling water.

5. Cover, reduce heat to low and simmer for 10 minutes.

6. When the liquid has cooled to 80 degrees, add black or green tea and a few rose hips.

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.
