How to strain ginger powder to make ginger tea

gingertea

I was thinking maybe a coffee filter would work, but then it might not have enough time to fully brew the ginger. I don't know what other ways to filter are good. The powder is very fine-grained, and dried ginger is really expensive right now.

I think, even though it’s way subjective, the best way to make ginger tea/(infusion actually) is to boil the fresh ginger in hot water for 4-5 minutes, and discard the ginger.

So modifying this recipe, and adapting for ginger powder, you should boil the ginger powder for some time and then filter using a coffee filter. However you should try to find the optimum time here, I think it will be less than the time needed for fresh ginger, as the powdered ginger will have waaay more surface area than the fresh ginger.
