Ingredients

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Boil water: Measure the water in a large mug, pour it into a small pan, and bring it to a boil.1 cup water/ 250 ml
  2. Slice: In the meantime, slice the turmeric and the ginger into thin slices.1 piece of fresh turmeric + 1 piece fresh ginger
  3. Simmer: Turn the heat down and add the turmeric, ginger, cinnamon, and pepper to the pot. Simmer gently for 4-5 minutes.1 pinch cinnamon + a few grindings of black pepper

Notes

  • Substitute fresh turmeric with ¾ teaspoon ground turmeric
  • The recipe makes 1 large mug of tea, but feel free to make as much as you want. I usually make about 3-4 cups and keep the tea in the Thermos bottle.
  • Substitute fresh turmeric with ¾ teaspoon ground turmeric
  • Color: The tea will be very dark orange at first, but once you add just a little lemon juice, the tea will brighten up and look like liquid gold!
