Description
Whip up this warming Turmeric Ginger Tea, a perfect immune-boosting drink to welcome the cooler months. It’s simple to make and full of bright, comforting flavors.
Ingredients
Scale
- 4 cups water
- 1 inch fresh ginger, thinly sliced or grated
- 1 teaspoon ground turmeric
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- Pinch of black pepper (helps with turmeric absorption)
- 1 tablespoon honey (or to taste)
- 1 teaspoon fresh lemon juice (optional)
Instructions
- Pour the water into a small saucepan.
- Add the sliced or grated ginger, turmeric, cinnamon, and black pepper to the water.
- Bring the mixture to a boil over medium-high heat.
- Once boiling, reduce the heat to low and let it simmer gently for 10 to 15 minutes. This allows the flavors to infuse deeply.
- Remove the saucepan from the heat.
- Strain the tea through a fine-mesh sieve into mugs to remove the ginger pieces.
- Stir in the honey and lemon juice, if using.
- Serve immediately and enjoy the warmth.
Notes
- For a stronger ginger flavor, increase the amount of fresh ginger used.
- You can add a slice of orange for extra zest.
- Store leftover tea in the refrigerator for up to three days. Reheat gently on the stovetop.
