Morphology
The meaning 'a hot beverage made from ginger' is directly and transparently derived from combining 'ginger' (the root/spice) with 'tea' (a brewed drink). This simple noun–noun compound is cross-linguistically common and follows standard compositional patterns, so a B1 learner who knows both words will be able to infer the meaning.
Etymology
Ginger tea comes from the simple idea of putting slices of ginger into hot tea or boiling water to make a spicy drink. People in many places drank it to warm up and help with an upset stomach, so the phrase means 'a hot drink made with ginger'.
