Tips for Success:

Use fresh ginger for the best flavor and health benefits. Thinly slice it to release more of its natural oils.
Palm sugar can be substituted with brown sugar or honey if unavailable, though palm sugar offers a more authentic taste.
Add a squeeze of fresh lime juice for an extra citrusy kick.
