Manila, Philippines July 13 – Ginga, the leading brand for Ginger-based teas and beverages has launched its latest event, the “Ginga Spice Up your Recipe contest.” The goal of this event is to find creative ways of incorporating Ginga’s powdered instant Ginger brews in dishes and drinks. Aside from that, the company’s aim is to increase the awareness of the benefits of ginger to promoting a healthier body.
The Philippines has recognized the benefits of ginger which is the reason why they have their own name for the ginger tea, “Salabat.” Now is the time to bring back the Salabat and make this generation know that it’s not just for our grandparents and/or singers. It’s really a fun drink you can enjoy.
Since Ginga brews are made of natural powdered ginger and brown sugar, you can use it as a replacement for ginger to flavor your favorite recipes. No need to peel and slice, all you have to do is tear a packet and pour!
