Instructions
Boil one cup of water in a saucepan. Turn the heat off, and then add ⅓ teaspoon of turmeric and ⅓ teaspoon of ginger.
Steep with the lid on for 5 minutes. (If you put a lid over it, less of the chemicals and compounds are lost through steam.)
Strain the tea, allow it to cool, and then add honey. Adding honey to hotter tea blunts some of honey’s benefits..
Add ¼ teaspoon of black pepper to help the absorption of turmeric.
Add lemon to taste, and enjoy!
