Aynar


Ingredients:

chopped walnuts



In a medium sized pot, add 8 cups of water & the cinnamon sticks


Add the sliced fresh ginger

Bring it to a boil, then cover, turn down heat and simmer for at least an hour and a half



This is the colour it should be after an hour and a half. If you would like it darker and stronger, leave it longer
