Ingredients Equipment Method Notes

Ingredients

1 tsp turmeric powder or 1-inch fresh turmeric root finely grated
½ tsp freshly grated ginger
2 cups water
¼ tsp ground cinnamon
1 tbsp freshly squeezed lemon juice
1 tsp honey or pure maple syrup
A small pinch of freshly ground black pepper
A splash of milk or ¼ tsp coconut oil/ghee

Equipment

Small saucepan
Fine grater (if using fresh turmeric/ginger)
Measuring spoons
Mug or teacup
Spoon for stirring

Method

Step 1: Gently Simmer The Spices

Pour water into a small saucepan and add turmeric, freshly grated ginger, cinnamon, and a pinch of black pepper. Bring it just to a light boil, and then lower the heat. Let everything simmer softly for 6–8minutes so the flavors can fully blend.

Step 2: Strain And Add Your Extras

Remove the saucepan from the heat. If you used fresh turmeric or ginger root, strain the tea into your favorite cup. Stir in a squeeze of lemon juice and a little honey or maple syrup to taste. For a creamier finish, add a splash of milk or a small spoonful of coconut oil or ghee.

Step 3: Enjoy It Warm

Pour into mugs and drink while it’s still warm. If you like, dust a tiny pinch of cinnamon on top for a cozy aroma and extra flavor.
