Place grated ginger into a 2-cup glass measuring cup. Fill to the 1-1/2 cup line with boiling water. Set timer for 10 minutes. When timer goes off strain into a large mug and stir in sugar (you may need more or less depending on how sweet you want your tea). Taste; if it's too strong (too gingery) for you add a little more boiling water to your mug but I found the strong taste really grew on me so I hope you try it this way first! Sip and enjoy! Note#1 If that's too much you can use just 1 tsp grated ginger and just 1 cup of boiling water but I like a big mug. Note#2 a squeeze of lemon can be added and maple syrup is an interesting replacement for the white sugar. Note#3 If you triple or quadruple this recipe you can make a lovely pot of ginger tea instead of a single serving.
