Begin by peeling and grating one tablespoon of fresh ginger root. Adjust the amount to suit your taste preferences.
In a small saucepan, heat 1 cup of milk over medium heat. Avoid bringing it to a boil to prevent scalding the milk.
Add the grated ginger to the milk while it's heating. Stir gently to combine.
Allow the mixture to simmer for about 3-5 minutes so the ginger infuses the milk. If you prefer a stronger ginger flavor, you can simmer it a bit longer.
Strain the milk to remove the ginger pieces. Pour the hot ginger-infused milk back into the saucepan or into a mug.
Stir in 1-2 teaspoons of honey, or adjust to your liking for sweetness.
Enjoy your hot ginger milk while it's warm for a soothing and comforting drink.
