Ingredients
- 2 cups water

- 1 pinch black pepper
- 1 teaspoon lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon honey (optional, or use a low-calorie sweetener)

Instructions
In a small saucepan, bring 2 cups of water to a gentle simmer over medium heat.
Add the ground turmeric, ground cinnamon, ground ginger, and a pinch of black pepper to the simmering water. Stir well to combine.
Let the mixture simmer gently for 3-4 minutes, allowing the spices to infuse into the liquid.
If using almond milk or low-fat milk for added creaminess, stir it in during the last minute of simmering.
Remove the saucepan from heat and let the tea cool slightly for about 30 seconds.
Stir in the lemon juice and honey or a low-calorie sweetener if using. Adjust sweetness to taste.
Strain the tea using a fine mesh strainer into serving cups to remove any leftover spice particles.
