Do I have to peel the skin?

Ginger skin thickens over time and becomes bitter, so fresh ginger generally tastes better.

Whether to remove the peel or not depends on the way you'll be using it.

Personally: for tea, drinks, tonics, smoothies or marinade, there's no need to peel the ginger if you don’t mind the slightly bitter taste.

<aside> 💡 Note: You can leave the ginger and turmeric pieces in the water as long as you want and reuse it again for another ginger tea. The longer you leave it, the more spicy it gets. I leave them in the whole time and add them to my smoothies afterwards.
