If you're a traveller who likes to taste your way around the globe, it is hard to imagine a world without ginger. Its warming flavour has a refreshing, earthy note and citrusy overtones. It is used in countless dishes from the cuisines of Asia, Latin America, the Caribbean and Africa. For several years, it was the world's most popular spice, even in Europe. Ginger is also perfect for wintry warming teas- they are even more delicious with honey and a little lemon. The flavour develops an intense spiciness that refreshes with a fruity-lemony note.
