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.
