Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups of water
- 1-2 inches of ginger root, sliced
- 2 sticks cinnamon stick
- Juice of one lemon
- 1/2 to 1 teaspoon turmeric powder
- Honey
Instructions
- In a small pot, add water, ginger, and cinnamon stick and bring it to a boil.
- Once it comes to a boil, add turmeric powder.
- Reduce heat and simmer for 5 minutes.
- Remove the pot from the heat and let it cool until it is warm enough to drink.
- Strain the mixture to a cup and add fresh lemon juice and honey.
Notes
- If you use cinnamon powder instead of a cinnamon stick, the tea can get a little slimy due to the fiber in cinnamon powder absorbing water. This slime is not harmful and perfectly safe to ingest. However, if you don't want any slime, use a cinnamon stick instead of cinnamon powder.
- Let your tea cool a little bit before you add your lemon juice so it won't destroy the vitamin C.
- I preferred to use raw honey because it has more beneficial nutrients and a higher level of antioxidants.
