Ingredients
- 2 cups water
- 1 tablespoon fresh ginger root (sliced thinly)
- 1 whole lemon (juiced)
- 1 tablespoon raw honey
- 1 piece cinnamon stick
- 0.5 teaspoon turmeric powder
- 1 pinch pepper (freshly ground, optional)
Instructions
In a small saucepan, bring 2 cups of water to a gentle boil over medium heat.

Reduce the heat to a low simmer and allow the mixture to steep for about 8-10 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Remove the saucepan from heat and strain the tea into a heat-safe container or directly into serving mugs to remove the ginger slices and cinnamon stick.
Add the juice of 1 freshly squeezed lemon to the tea and stir well.

If you're using freshly ground black pepper for added health benefits, stir in a pinch at this stage.
Serve hot and enjoy as a calming, healthful beverage.
