A jar of ginger root, used in potion-making
During fifth year Herbology class in the 1988–1989 school year on ginger root, Pomona Sprout particularly emphasized that her favourite usage of the root of the plant, was to be added to Butterbeer, advising students to try it after class, with more comments about asking Rosmerta to add it into the drink when students would be having their next Butterbeer.[2]
Ginger is added to drinks. In The Three Broomsticks, Hermione Granger drank Butterbeer with ginger.[3]
Behind the scenes
- "Ginger" is also a sometimes derogatory term for people with red hair and freckles. Scabior, Fenrir Greyback, and a drunk man on Tottenham Court Road all referred to Ron Weasley by this term.
- Ginger produces a hot, fragrant kitchen spice. Young ginger rhizomes are juicy and fleshy with a very mild taste. Mature ginger roots are fibrous and nearly dry. Ginger also has several medical uses such as treating stomach issues, the common cold, and aches and pains.[4]
