Frequently asked questions about Fresh ginger
Peel the root with the edge of a spoon, then cut off a slice about as thick as a coin for one drink.
Muddle the slice firmly in the shaker, since ginger needs more force than herbs to release its oil.
For a sharper drink, grate a little root finely and strain its juice into the glass.
