Ingredients

Scale

Spices & Roots

  • 1 inch fresh ginger root, peeled and thinly sliced
  • 1 inch fresh turmeric root, peeled and sliced OR 1 teaspoon ground turmeric
  • Pinch of black pepper

Liquids & Sweeteners

  • 2 cups water
  • 1 teaspoon honey or maple syrup (adjust to taste)
  • Fresh lemon juice (from about 1/2 lemon)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Ingredients: Peel and thinly slice about a one-inch piece of fresh ginger root and, if using fresh turmeric, peel and slice a similar-sized piece. Measure one teaspoon of ground turmeric if you prefer the powdered form. Gather water, honey, lemon juice, and black pepper.
  2. Boil the Water and Simmer Spices: In a small pot, bring two cups of water to a boil. Add the ginger slices and turmeric. Reduce the heat to low and let the mixture simmer gently for 10-15 minutes to deeply infuse the flavors.
  3. Strain the Tea: Use a fine mesh strainer or cheesecloth to pour the brewed tea into your favorite mug, removing the ginger and turmeric pieces to avoid any gritty texture.
  4. Add Final Touches: Stir in one teaspoon of honey or your preferred sweetener, a squeeze of fresh lemon juice, and a pinch of black pepper. Mix well, taste, and adjust sweetness or lemon to your preference.
  5. Enjoy Warm: Let the tea cool slightly until comfortably warm, then sip slowly and savor every cozy moment.

Notes

  • Use fresh ginger and turmeric whenever possible for maximum flavor and benefits.
  • Black pepper enhances turmeric absorption—don’t skip it.
  • Simmer gently; avoid boiling too hard to prevent bitterness.
  • Brew larger batches for convenient reheating and storage.
  • Add sweetener gradually to maintain balanced flavor.
