Ingredients:

Serving

4 china oolong tea bags
4 cups water
1/4 cup sliced peeled fresh gingerroot (about a 2 1/2-by 1 1/2-inch piece)
1/2 cup plus 1 tbsp chilled simple syrup , to taste
1 1/3 cups sugar
1 1/4 cups water

Directions:

Put tea bags in a quart-size glass measure or heatproof bowl.
In a saucepan bring water with gingerroot just to a boil and pour over tea bags. Steep tea 5 minutes and remove tea bags. Steep gingerroot 1 1/2 hours more and strain ginger tea through a fine sieve into a pitcher. Cool tea and chill, covered, until cold, about 1 hour.
Stir in syrup and serve tea over ice in tall glasses.
To make simple syrup: In a saucepan bring sugar and water to a boil, stirring, and boil until sugar is completely dissolved. Let syrup cool and chill, covered. Syrup may be made 2 weeks ahead and chilled. Makes about 2 cups.
