The answer is yes. In traditional Thai cuisine, ginger is used extensively. Ginger is used extensively in Thai traditional cooking. It's often added to soups and stir-fries, and it's also common in desserts and drinks like lassis.

How to Store Spices
Keep them in an airtight container away from light and heat.
Place them in a dark cupboard to store spices for extended periods. This will keep the spices fresh and prevent any oxidation.
Your spices should be kept in cool and dry areas, away from direct sunlight. It is possible for the spice to lose its flavor and aroma if it's placed in close proximity to a window or heater.
Spices need to be kept in an airtight glass container or tin. If storing in plastic containers, make sure there is no moisture inside the container.
As humidity can cause mold growth, it is important to check the seal before opening or resealing.
You don't have to throw out leftover spices. Use them instead by adding them into other dishes. To prolong their shelf life you can freeze them.
Can you add spice into a drink
I love how spices bring flavour to food. But how do you make them come alive when used in drinks?
Spices can bring out the best of any beverage. There's nothing better than adding cinnamon or nutmeg in your glass of wine or beer, whether it's coffee, tea, hot chocolate, or cocktails.
Most recipes require ground spices. You will need to use fresh whole spices. While this makes sense, it is costly, takes time and requires storage space.
Here's where the magic happens. With some creativity, your favourite spices can be made into powdered forms that are easy to use. To make tasty spiced drinks, you can combine them with your favourite beverages.
These powders can be made in two ways. One method involves grinding whole spices to a fine powder. Another method is to use a mortar & pestle to grind the spices until they are finely ground.
Whatever method you choose to use, you will find that powders are much easier than whole spices. Plus, the powder keeps well so that you won't run out of stock.
Mixing spices can be fun to create new flavors. To make minty water, you can combine spearmint and peppermint leaves. Or ginger and cardamom pods to make spicy ginger tea.
Once you've mastered making powdered spices, you can apply the same technique to herbs. Basil, rosemary, thyme and sage are some of the most popular herbs.
The possibilities are endless. Powdered spices can enhance the flavor and texture of beverages, such as soups or salads, as well as the taste of pasta.

How to Make A Garlic Press
A garlic press is one of the most valuable tools in any home cook's arsenal. You can quickly mince garlic or make a paste. It's also great for crushing whole garlic cloves into a buttery spread or garlic salt.
If you don't yet have a garlic presse, you may be wondering where to get one. We have some tips to help get you started.
First of all, you'll need to get a large bowl. Place the bowl below the press and pour in the crushed garlic. Now, turn the pressure regulator to maximum.
