Instructions
- Add all the ingredients to a pot, except the honey and lemon juice. Bring to the boil then reduce to a simmer.
- After 10 minutes, taste and see if it's strong enough for you. If not, keep simmering. (I usually simmer for anything between 10-30 minutes depending on how much time I have!)
- Once the flavor and color are to your liking, switch off the fire then pour in the lemon juice.
- Add the honey to sweeten to taste.
- Serve and enjoy!
Notes
- The easiest way to peel turmeric and ginger that wastes the least is using the back of a spoon. For more ideas on how to use turmeric, click here. For a stronger ginger tea, use grated ginger.
- Chinese cinnamon, or cassia, is sometimes labelled as cinnamon. Make sure you've got the real cinnamon to get the full health benefits of this tea!
- Variations
- Note: the nutritional information is an estimate automatically calculated using the WPRM recipe maker and I am not responsible for its veracity.
- This turmeric ginger tea recipe can be enjoyed both hot, on a cold day, or called as an iced tea in the summer
- Turn it into Golden milk: this turmeric ginger and cinnamon tea also tastes great with milk, or almond milk (start by using a 1:1 ratio of the turmeric tea to milk then adjusting to suit your taste, if necessary.) Don't use coconut milk- it tastes like a sweet curry!
- If you enjoy spice, you can add a pinch of black pepper, cayenne pepper, clove or nutmeg to this soothing tea.
