What are the benefits of ginger in infusions?
For thousands of years, ginger has been associated with antioxidant, antibacterial and of course... aphrodisiac properties.
This reputation often overshadows its other benefits, which make it one of the most widely used spices in both gastronomy and traditional Chinese medicine.
Ginger root is said to have health benefits, particularly for digestion, nausea and to combat fatigue .
But at Les 2 Marmottes, it's its stimulating taste that interests us above all!


What ginger is used in Les 2 Marmottes infusions?
Like turmeric , it is its underground stem - or rhizome - which is popular.
It is a staple of Asian cuisine, which has traveled the world of gastronomy.
No half measures: our master infusers have selected organic ginger with powerful aromas.
At Les 2 Marmottes, we work it not in powder form, but in dried roots which are then cut and assembled in such a way as to best exploit their taste qualities.


In which recipes do our master infusers use ginger?
Ginger is used in various recipes to which it adds a slightly lemony tang, with a lingering taste that accentuates other ingredients.
He likes to blow hot and cold, awakening fresh infusions like Lemongrass and Lemon Him , or fiery ones like our Mulled Wine Preparation .
Its energy is combined with ginseng in Boost and Moi , and its comforting power warms our Chai tea .
Our master infusers have also combined it with lemon in our Lemon Ginger infusion . A spicy duo for a recipe with a strong character.
But it's in our torrid 7th Heaven recipe that it plays the star. A fiery cocktail with notes of pepper and ginger, shaken by the energy of guarana, capable of awakening romantic ardor...even during hibernation .
