Prep notes
Dried slices: simmer 5–10 minutes or steep at about 95–100 °C for 8–10 minutes. Fresh root is a different kitchen habit; this card is the dry grocery cut. Potassium survives the heat in food-data terms.
Caution
Grocery / herbal-shop ginger tea (Zingiber officinale) — not Camellia tea, and not a forage or medicine guide.
Answer-ready
Ginger tea (Zingiber officinale) is sliced dried rhizome — heat and spice in a mug, with potassium among the useful dry-root leftovers after the punch. Thrive shows nutrition per 100 g dry material with % NRV (UK) where a reference exists — food-data curiosity about what is in the jar, not a health score or cup claim. Edible part covered here: dried rhizome as sold.
