Use cheap tea! It should have a nice strong flavour to balance out the spices. Available from middle eastern or asian supermarkets. Builder's tea or similar grade is also good. Don't brew for too long though, or it will be too bitter! Read more You can use powdered ginger, but fresh gives a better flavour. See less
