Ginger milk tea is made by brewing tea with ginger, then adding milk. Simmer sliced fresh ginger in water, steep black tea in the infusion, strain, and stir in warmed milk. Sweeten it if you like.
Ginger milk tea is a warming drink that combines ginger’s spicy flavor with the mildness of milk. Ginger may ease mild nausea for some people, but the drink is not a treatment for illness.
Ginger milk tea contains caffeine when it is made with black or green tea. The amount varies with the tea and brewing method; choose decaffeinated tea or a caffeine-free infusion if you want to avoid caffeine.
Ginger milk tea does not cure a cold, but drinking it warm may temporarily soothe a scratchy throat. Its warmth can feel comforting, while ginger adds flavor; seek medical advice if symptoms are severe or persistent.
You can drink ginger milk tea before bed, but tea made with black tea contains caffeine and may interfere with sleep. Use decaffeinated tea or make it with a caffeine-free base if you are sensitive to caffeine.
Ginger milk tea may ease mild nausea for some people, since ginger is commonly used for this purpose. Milk can bother a sensitive stomach, so try a smaller amount or choose ginger tea without milk if needed.
Milk can curdle in ginger milk tea if it is overheated or mixed with acidic ingredients. Warm the milk gently, let the brewed tea cool slightly before combining, and avoid adding lemon to the milk.
Black tea is the usual choice for ginger milk tea because its robust flavor stands up to ginger and milk. Decaffeinated black tea works well too, while green tea makes a lighter, more delicate version.
Yes, ginger milk tea works with both fresh and ground ginger. Fresh ginger gives a bright, lively flavor, while ground ginger tastes more concentrated; start with a small amount so it does not overpower the tea.
Ginger milk tea can be kept covered in the refrigerator, but it is best enjoyed fresh. Because it contains milk, refrigerate leftovers promptly, reheat them thoroughly, and discard the drink if its smell or appearance has changed.

Ginger milk tea is brewed tea combined with ginger and milk. It is not tied to one single place of origin, though it has much in common with the spiced milk teas enjoyed across South Asia. Recipes vary: some use fresh ginger, others ground ginger, and sweetness is optional.
Its warming spice and gentle bite are softened by the creamy milk, making it a comforting choice for a breakfast or afternoon tea break. It can be served hot, on its own or alongside a small snack. Nutritionally, it is a moderately caloric drink with a little protein; it provides 52 calories per 100 g. For a lighter cup, choose lower-fat milk and keep added sugar modest, or leave it out to let the ginger’s flavour come through.
Low
How many vitamins, minerals and how much fiber this food carries per calorie. A high score means a lot of nutrition for few calories.
Medium
An EatBetter score computed from fiber, protein and calorie density. A high score means staying full longer on the same calories.
Both scores are calculated per 100 g and do not change with the selected portion. The satiety score is EatBetter's own calculation, not a clinical measure.
