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

Directions

Step 1

Start by peeling the inch piece of fresh ginger. Slice it thinly to help release more flavor into the tea.

Step 2

In a small saucepan, pour in the 2 cups of water and add the sliced ginger.

Step 3

Add 1 teaspoon of turmeric powder to the saucepan with the water and ginger.

Step 4

Break the cinnamon stick in half and add it to the mixture.

Step 5

Sprinkle in a pinch of black pepper. This will enhance the absorption of the beneficial compounds found in turmeric.

Step 6

Place the saucepan over medium heat and bring the mixture to a simmer. Allow it to simmer gently for about 10 minutes.

Step 7

Remove the saucepan from heat. Strain the turmeric tea through a fine mesh strainer into cups to remove the sliced ginger and cinnamon stick.

Step 8

Stir in 1 tablespoon of honey and 1 tablespoon of lemon juice to each cup. Adjust the amount of honey to taste, if desired.

Step 9

Serve the turmeric tea hot, and enjoy its aromatic and health-promoting qualities.
