Simple ways to enjoy your ginseng

Ginseng has traditionally been prepared simply—as a tea or incorporated into everyday cooking. Whether you choose whole slices or convenient powder, Panvera American Ginseng can be easily prepared at home.

Preparing Ginseng Slices

1. Place few slices (3–10) ginseng slices into a cup or teapot.
2. Add 250–300 mL of hot water.
3. Allow to steep for 10–15 minutes.
4. Enjoy warm.

The longer the slices are steeped, the more pronounced the flavour becomes. The same slices can often be infused again, with each subsequent infusion becoming naturally milder.

Preparing Ginseng Powder

Add ½–1 teaspoon of ginseng powder to approximately 250–300 mL of hot water and stir well.

Ginseng powder can also be incorporated into:

• Smoothies
• Soups
• Porridge or congee
• Other favourite recipes

Its finely ground form makes it a convenient alternative to whole slices.

Cooking with Ginseng

Ginseng has traditionally been incorporated into food as well as tea.

Whole slices can be added to soups, broths, congee and slow-cooked dishes, allowing their subtle earthy flavour to blend naturally with other ingredients.

Powder can be stirred directly into recipes where a finer texture is preferred.
