Total Time: 15 mins
Cuisine: Health
Serves: 2 servings
Ingredients
- 2 cups water
- 1 tablespoon fresh ginger, grated
- 1 tablespoon honey
- 1 lemon, juiced
- 1 teaspoon turmeric powder
- Optional: mint leaves for garnish
Instructions
- Thoroughly wash the fresh ginger and lemon to remove any dirt or residue.
- Peel and finely grate the fresh ginger using a microplane or fine grater to release its maximum flavor and health benefits.
- Pour 2 cups of fresh, clean water into a small saucepan and place over medium-high heat.
- Add the grated ginger directly into the water and bring the mixture to a gentle simmer, allowing the ginger to infuse its warming and immune-supporting properties.
- Reduce the heat to low and let the ginger simmer for approximately 3-5 minutes, which will help extract its essential oils and medicinal compounds.
- Remove the saucepan from heat and strain the ginger-infused water into two serving mugs using a fine mesh strainer.
- Immediately add the turmeric powder to the hot liquid and stir thoroughly to ensure complete dissolution.
- Squeeze fresh lemon juice directly into each mug, which will not only enhance flavor but also increase vitamin C content.
- Add honey to taste, stirring until completely dissolved. The honey will provide natural sweetness and additional antimicrobial properties.
- Optional: Garnish with fresh mint leaves for added aroma and a cooling effect.
- Allow the tea to cool slightly to a comfortable drinking temperature before consuming.
Tips
- Use fresh, organic ingredients whenever possible to maximize nutritional benefits and flavor intensity.
- Grate ginger just before brewing to preserve its most potent medicinal compounds.
- Choose raw, unprocessed honey for maximum antimicrobial properties.
- Use freshly squeezed lemon juice instead of bottled for higher vitamin C content.
- Let the tea cool slightly before drinking to preserve delicate nutrients and prevent burning your tongue.
- For an extra boost, consider adding a pinch of black pepper to enhance turmeric absorption.
- Experiment with mint leaves or a cinnamon stick for varied flavor profiles.
- Drink this tea consistently during cold and flu season for best immune support.
