Ginger root is readily available in the vegetable section of most grocery stores, or you can find it at an Asian market.
The roots are typically about 1 inch in diameter and a 2-inch section should yield about 2 tablespoons of sliced ginger. If you are using weight, a 2-inch segment should be about 0.5 ounces.
If you have leftover ginger root, you can freeze it to use later. This will work perfectly well for ginger tea.
