Ginger Turmeric Glow Tea - breakfast/brunch and breads recipe by Carolyn Cohen

Servings

1

Ingredients

  • 1 -inch piece of ginger (sliced in thin rounds (not peeled, see note at the bottom))
  • 2 -inch piece of fresh turmeric (sliced in thin rounds (not peeled, see note at the bottom) or 1/4 tsp dried ground turmeric)
  • 1 tsp raw honey or liquid unpasteurized honey (more to taste)
  • 2 grinds of black pepper
  • a TINY shake of cayenne (optional)
  • 475 mL 16 ounces boiling water

Instructions

  1. 1

    Place the ginger pieces and turmeric pieces on a small pot, top with water and bring to a boil for 10-15 minutes.  Let it then steep for a few more minutes.

  2. 2

    Add honey, cayenne and black pepper.

  3. 3

    I like to make a large pot (a quadruple recipe) of this tea ahead of time and rewarm it though the day, the longer the ginger and turmeric is allowed to steep, the better.

Notes

I don’t peel the ginger or turmeric, that’s a total pain in the $%#@, rather I srub it clean and usually buy it organic.
