Wow mmmmm...... But looks like gula melaka is not readily available in Singapore? As for the black sugar, where can we find it? Chinese medicine shop?

I love ginger tea. One of the spas I patronize also serves ginger tea and I had also asked them for their recipe. Everything similar except they use rock sugar instead of gula melaka. Mmm, divine.

Re: Traditional Ginger Tea
Happy Mama, you can get gula melaka in NTUC.. I bought mine in NTUC.. They have 2 packing.. one is the big ones with 2 cylinder-like gula melaka in a packet and the small ones with 4 or 6 cylinder like gula melaka in a packet.. I bought my black sugar or should it be brown sugar from the provision shop.. i think NTUC should have it too.. It should be placed at the dry goods section..Happy Mama wrote:

Hahahaha!!! I will need the oxygen mask and tank too, especially if you will be drinking the ginger tea and running around playing tt, then you will definitely need the additional turbo (from the ginger tea)...markfch wrote:Hmm Happy Mama, remind me to bring along the oxygen tank & mask should you invite me to a game of tt in your house in future.schweppes wrote:Happy Mama wrote:Ya, then my room will have natural air refreshener.
