    Question for the room. The only tea I really enjoy -- albeit with loads of sweetener in it -- is anything with ginger. Ginger tea, with a little lemon and some black pepper, gets me kicking early in the morning. How is ginger tea regarded by you lot? Am I now one of you... or is ginger tea basically the Freeway Cola to your Coca Cola? ;-)
    In your brew the tea is nothing more than the carrier. Which is a pity. I personally don't like ginger much, but my wife loves it. Still, if you want a proper cup, I'd recommend going to a specialised shop, and literally snif around. Find a smell that you love, use a sachet or tea pot or any other contraption that can hold the loose tea and make sure you let the boiling water hit the leaves. Preferably let them cook a bit. You'll find the tea not to be bitter at all and full of taste. You can do the same with fresh ginger, and that's probably nicer than what you're making now.

    I don't really drink ginger tea. If you like spiced tea there's some really nice (imo) pumpkin spice teas that probably have ginger in them.
