做法
- 把姜彻底洗净但不去皮——大部分风味在皮里或皮下。切成厚块,然后用刀背拍每块一次以释放油。
- 在重锅中混合姜、水和香兰。煮至小火微沸。盖盖煮20分钟——水应变成淡黄琥珀,厨房应弥漫姜的辣温香气。
- 加黑糖;搅至溶化。再炖3分钟。试味——salabat应明显姜味,有深焦糖甜。
- 用细筛过滤到茶壶或壶中。丢弃姜和香兰。预留液应因姜油略浑浊。
- 趁温倒入马克杯。旁边配半个卡曼桔;食客按口味挤柑橘锐化姜味提升热度。
- Salabat在冰箱里几小时后略改善;轻轻加热或夏天加冰喝(es salabat)。常配puto、bibingka或简单的pan de sal当早餐。

文化背景
Salabat是菲律宾对喉咙痛、感冒和雨季寒冷的家庭疗法——每户厨房都有一根姜,以备有人开始咳嗽。菲律宾歌剧歌手和舞台演员虔诚地喝salabat保护嗓音;草药传统赋予它温暖和减充血特性。圣诞期间Misa de Gallo后salabat配puto bumbong和bibingka是已有几个世纪的菲律宾传统。姜应陈年刺激;嫩姜做出更温和、效果较弱的茶。
