Tea Ingredients

  • 1 cup water

  • Pinch turmeric (less than ¼ teaspoon)
  • Honey, to your taste (start with 1 tablespoon)

Instructions

  1. Boil the Water: In a saucepan or teakettle, bring 1 cup of water to a boil.
  2. Add Ingredients: Stir in the grated ginger, lemon juice, turmeric, honey, and the cinnamon stick into the boiling water.
  3. Steep the Tea: Immediately turn off the heat, cover the teapot or saucepan, and let the tea steep for 10 minutes to allow flavors to infuse.

Notes

  • Steeping the tea covered helps preserve the aromatic oils and enhances the flavor.
  • This tea can be enjoyed hot or cooled down for a refreshing iced version.
  • For an added health boost, use raw honey and organic turmeric.
  • Use fresh grated ginger rather than dried for the best flavor and health benefits.
