Ginger tea - a refreshing hot drink

Milky ginger tea is what mostly elderly clients requested back then when they go for chitchat session at kopi tiam. Sweetened condensed milk is used to sweeten this tea rather than sugar. Refreshing taste of ginger coupled with hot tea is very welcome indeed especially on rainy days.
