Christmas in the Dominican Republic:
Jengibre
('Ginger' Christmas drink)
Christmas in the Dominican Republic wouldn't be the same without a glass of 'heart-warming' Jengibre. It is a simple beverage, made using fresh ginger root for the 'warmth' and cinnamon for that seasonally spicy twist.
At Christmas in the Dominican Republic, one of our favorite times of year, it is a few degrees cooler than the humid and often stifling summer months...but when you live in tropical conditions all the time you do notice those few degrees in the evenings especially! So when you are out 'carolling' a warming cup of jengibre is most welcome...
To prepare this simple and traditional Christmas beverage all you need is:
8 cinnamon sticks
1 1/2 - pints of water - about 5 cups
2 - 3 oz of fresh ginger roots - 1/2 a cup
About 1 teaspoon Unrefined Sugar per cup (to taste)
