Ingredients
- 1 Tablespoon Turmeric Root chopped or sliced
- 1 Tablespoon Ginger Root chopped or sliced
- 4 Lemon Slices
- 1-2 Tablespoons Honey or to taste
- 2 Cups Water
Instructions

- Thinly slice each ingredient and add to the pot.
- Pour water over the ingredients.
- Set the timer for 10 minutes. Bring contents in the pot to a boil and then simmer on low until time has expired.
- Strain out pulp.
- Stir in honey while still warm.
- Enjoy!
Notes
- Always choose organic ingredients when possible.
- Remember, you don’t need to peel the turmeric and ginger if you’re straining the tea before consuming.
- For those who find the flavor of fresh turmeric too intense, you can use a bit less than the recipe calls for and gradually increase it over time.
- If you don’t have access to fresh turmeric, 1 teaspoon of ground turmeric can be used as a substitute.
- Adjust the lemon and honey to taste.
- Be careful when handling turmeric, as it can stain clothing and kitchenware.
- The tea can be stored in the refrigerator for several days. You can enjoy it cold or gently reheat it before drinking.
- If this tea is too strong for your taste, reduce the amount of ginger or turmeric.
