Ginger Turmeric Glow Tea
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
- 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.
- Add honey, cayenne and black pepper.
- 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.
