On my last post, I demonstrated how I extract fresh ginger juice at home, which I use for ginger tea as flu season approaches. Ginger juice has many health benefits that should not be ignored! Therefore, in addition to tea, I incorporate the juice into my meals through one of my favorite Chinese desserts: I introduce to you *drum roll* Ginger Milk Egg White Custard!!! If you didn’t think ginger can be added to a dessert, you are wrong! This dessert is lightly sweetened, packed with protein and more importantly, it contains GINGER JUICE!! Don’t worry, the ginger kick is actually quite subtle but pairs very well with the milk and egg whites. It may be eaten hot or chilled (I personally prefer the latter). Don’t hesitate, give this recipe a try!

Notes
- Make sure your milk is warm enough to dissolve the sugar but not boiling hot, or it will cook the egg whites that you will subsequently add into the mixture.
