I like eating this warm so I mould some in balls and leave the rest in a Tupperware in the fridge, I heat a spoonful in the microwave in the morning and eat it hot.

INFO & TIPS

Ginger paak is usually made just before winter to prevent colds.
One ball or a warm spoonful at breakfast before the onset of winter, is believed to increase your immunity to fight colds.
