<![CDATA[Traditional Ginger Tea]]>I often patron Javanese massage and like the taste of the ginger tea served after the massage.. For parents who share the same taste.. This is how you can do it at hme


What you need?
1. Gula Meleka (those sold in NTUC, 1 packet have about 6 small pieces compared to the standard 2 big pieces)
2. Young Ginger 1 stem
3. Old Ginger 1 Stem

How to do it?
1. Fill up a pot of water and boil it
2. When the water is boiled, put in 1 pcs (small) of gula meleka
3. Add in the Ginger w/o the skin
4. Boil for a about 15minutes or till gula meleka is dissolved
5. Remove the Ginger and smash it before putting it back to the pot to boil further for 5-10 minutes.
6. Taste if it is spicy enough if not you can repeat step 3 & 5..

Enjoy ur Ginger Tea.. 😎

They have 4 flavours - 100% ginger, strong ginger, ginger with brown sugar and ginger with honey. It helps to aid digestion after a heavy meal and great beverage to go with cakes.

You know what they say. Most of us end up marrying someone resembling our parents. DW is 80% like my mum.

Ok better don't praise her too much, in case she gets big-headed. 😉

I will need the oxygen mask and tank too, especially if you will be drinking the ginger tea and running around playing tt, then you will definitely need the additional turbo (from the ginger tea)... :rotflmao: :rotflmao:

By the way, your DW is so sweet to brew it for you. You are one lucky man! :celebrate: :celebrate:

Wow mmmmm...... But looks like gula melaka is not readily available in Singapore? As for the black sugar, where can we find it? Chinese medicine shop? Thanks. 😄

Happy Mama, you can get gula melaka in NTUC.. I bought mine in NTUC.. They have 2 packing.. one is the big ones with 2 cylinder-like gula melaka in a packet and the small ones with 4 or 6 cylinder like gula melaka in a packet.. I bought my black sugar or should it be brown sugar from the provision shop.. i think NTUC should have it too.. It should be placed at the dry goods section.. 😉

Thanks, e3nity. :celebrate:

I boil the cinnamon at the same time as I boil the ginger. I think in all, about 15-20minutes of boiling both ginger and cinnamon.
Seems easy.. i'll try the next round.. thanks.. 😎

Thanks for sharing, e3nity. I love ginger tea. One of the spas I patronize also serves ginger tea and I had also asked them for their recipe. Everything similar except they use rock sugar instead of gula melaka. Mmm, divine. :love:

Hi Happy Mama.. i was told that gula melaka smell nicer.. my mom improvise it by using '黑糖' instead of '椰糖' as she say '黑糖' can '驱湿热' so its a healthier option..

I brew my own ginger tea too. Depending on what I have, I use rock sugar or gula melaka or even honey.


For added health benefits, you can also add in a stick of cinnamon when u boil the ginger. The spice helps to manage our blood sugar level and it's been known to have anti-bacterial and immune supportive properties. It's especially good for our gut. So, everytime I drink my ginger and cinnamon spiced tea, I... uh... imagine them fighting against the bacteria in my gut. 😉

Hi Schweppes.. so when do you add in the cinnamon? and how old do u boil the cinnamon for its effect??? :?

I boil the cinnamon at the same time as I boil the ginger. I think in all, about 15-20minutes of boiling both ginger and cinnamon.
