Equipment
- Small saucepan
- Measuring spoons
- Fine-mesh strainer
- Teacups or mugs
Ingredients
- ½ teaspoon ground turmeric
- ¼ teaspoon ground ginger (or freshly grated)
- 4–6 whole black peppercorns (crushed gently)
- ¼ cinnamon stick
- 2 cups water
- Optional: honey or lemon to taste
Instructions
- Combine spices & water: In a small saucepan, add 2 cups of water, turmeric, ginger, crushed peppercorns, and the cinnamon stick.
- Simmer: Bring to a gentle boil over medium heat. Once boiling, reduce heat to low and let simmer for 8–10 minutes, uncovered, to allow flavors to infuse.
- Strain: Remove from heat and pour the tea through a fine-mesh strainer into teacups, discarding the spices.
- Sweeten & serve: Stir in honey or a squeeze of lemon if desired. Enjoy warm immediately.
Notes
- Black pepper enhances the bioavailability of turmeric’s active compound (curcumin).
- Adjust spice levels by decreasing or increasing ginger and pepper to taste.
- For a creamier version, stir in a splash of coconut or almond milk after straining.
- Storage: Refrigerate any leftovers in a sealed jar for up to 24 hours; reheat gently before drinking.
