- 2 inches fresh ginger root
- 4 cups water
- 1 whole lemon
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 1 piece cinnamon stick
- 0.25 teaspoons turmeric powder
- 1 pinch black pepper
- 4 leaves mint leaves (optional)
Instructions
Peel the fresh ginger root and slice it into thin pieces.
In a medium-sized pot, bring 4 cups of water to a boil.
Once boiling, add the sliced ginger, cinnamon stick, turmeric powder, and a pinch of black pepper.
Reduce the heat to low and let the mixture simmer for 10-15 minutes to release all the flavors.
While the tea simmers, cut the lemon in half and juice it into a small bowl. Set aside.
After simmering, remove the pot from heat and strain the tea into mugs or a teapot to remove the solids.

Optionally, garnish each serving with a sprig of fresh mint leaves for added freshness.
