Dried ginseng root has been the most commonly available form of Canadian ginseng. The most popular ways of consuming ginseng root are as an infusion.

You can boil longer if you prefer.

Reduce the flame and simmer covered for about 10-20 minutes. You can add honey for better taste. The ginseng tea is ready to serve.
