GINGER TEA 🌟

Ginger is popular for its vibrant and spicy flavor, but it has also been used for thousands of years all over the world to treat a variety of ailments.

 Ginger first appeared in the southern parts of ancient China and from there it spread all over the world. Ginger made its way to Europe in the 1st century when Marco Polo, who was a Venetian merchant, explorer, and writer travelled through Asia along the Silk Road between 1271 and 1295 and brought the root along his journeys to trade and sell.
