When the gentle chill air turns a bit cold we know that winter has arrived.The cold weather is a perfect excuse to stay indoors where it is warm and cozy and relax with a great book or an entertaining film.
In winter we like to have food and drinks that keep us warm. Warm winter drinks help us beat the winter blues and keep us active all winter long.Ginger coffer is one such drink.
When winter is in the air and if you are lazy, a cup of this spicy and sweet drink will make you active and warm.We call it coffee but no coffee powder is added in this recipe.Originally it is prepared by grinding dry ginger pieces along with other spices.But in this recipe dry ginger powder is used.
