Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups water
- 1 inch piece fresh ginger root
- 1 teaspoon turmeric powder
- 1 whole cinnamon stick
- 1 pinch black pepper
- 1 tablespoon honey
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
Instructions
Start by peeling the inch piece of fresh ginger. Slice it thinly to help release more flavor into the tea.
In a small saucepan, pour in the 2 cups of water and add the sliced ginger.
Add 1 teaspoon of turmeric powder to the saucepan with the water and ginger.
Break the cinnamon stick in half and add it to the mixture.
Sprinkle in a pinch of black pepper. This will enhance the absorption of the beneficial compounds found in turmeric.
Place the saucepan over medium heat and bring the mixture to a simmer. Allow it to simmer gently for about 10 minutes.
Remove the saucepan from heat. Strain the turmeric tea through a fine mesh strainer into cups to remove the sliced ginger and cinnamon stick.
Stir in 1 tablespoon of honey and 1 tablespoon of lemon juice to each cup. Adjust the amount of honey to taste, if desired.
Serve the turmeric tea hot, and enjoy its aromatic and health-promoting qualities.
