Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups Water
- 1 teaspoon Fresh turmeric root (peeled and grated) or ground turmeric
- 1 teaspoon Fresh ginger root (peeled and grated)
- 1 stick Cinnamon stick (or ground cinnamon)
- 1 pinch Black pepper (freshly cracked)
- 0.5 cup Unsweetened almond milk (or any unsweetened plant-based milk)
- 1 teaspoon Lemon juice (freshly squeezed)
- 1 drop Stevia or monk fruit extract (optional sweetener)
Instructions
In a small saucepan, add 2 cups of water and bring it to a gentle boil over medium heat.
Once the water starts boiling, add the grated turmeric root (or ground turmeric), grated ginger, cinnamon stick, and a pinch of freshly cracked black pepper.
Lower the heat to a simmer and let the mixture steep for 7–10 minutes, allowing the spices to infuse into the water.
Strain the tea into a heatproof mug or teapot to remove the grated turmeric, ginger, and cinnamon stick.
Stir in unsweetened almond milk and freshly squeezed lemon juice. Adjust the amount of milk to your liking.
If desired, add a drop of stevia or monk fruit extract for a touch of sweetness, keeping it sugar-free.
Serve the turmeric tea warm. Optionally, garnish with a small cinnamon stick or a lemon slice for presentation.
