Ingredients
- 1 cup water
- 1 teaspoon grated ginger
- 1/2 teaspoon turmeric powder
- 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
- Honey to taste
Instructions
- Begin by gathering all the ingredients: fresh ginger, turmeric powder, ground cinnamon, water, and honey.
- Wash and peel the fresh ginger, then use a fine grater to grate approximately 1 teaspoon of ginger root. Ensure the ginger is finely grated for maximum flavor extraction.
- Select a small saucepan and pour 1 cup of fresh, clean water into it. Place the pan on the stovetop over medium-high heat.
- Add the freshly grated ginger directly into the water. Allow the water to start heating and infusing with the ginger's aromatic essence.
- Sprinkle 1/2 teaspoon of turmeric powder into the heating water, stirring gently to ensure even distribution.
- Add 1/2 teaspoon of ground cinnamon to the mixture, continuing to stir occasionally to prevent any settling at the bottom.
- Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer, reducing heat to prevent boiling. Let the ingredients steep for approximately 5-7 minutes, allowing the flavors to fully develop.
- Remove the saucepan from heat and let the tea steep for an additional 2-3 minutes to enhance the depth of flavor.
- Strain the tea through a fine mesh strainer into your favorite mug, catching the ginger pieces and preventing them from entering your drink.
- While the tea is still warm, add honey to taste, stirring until completely dissolved. Adjust sweetness according to personal preference.
- Allow the tea to cool slightly before drinking. Enjoy the warming, spicy, and healing properties of this traditional wellness beverage.
Tips
- Use fresh, high-quality ingredients for maximum flavor and health benefits. Freshly grated ginger provides more intense aromatics than pre-ground ginger.
- Control your heat carefully - a gentle simmer is key to extracting flavors without burning the spices.
- Experiment with honey quantities to find your perfect balance of sweetness. Raw, organic honey offers additional health benefits.
- For an extra wellness boost, consider adding a pinch of black pepper, which can enhance turmeric's absorption.
- Use a fine mesh strainer to ensure a smooth, debris-free tea experience.
- If you prefer a stronger flavor, you can let the tea steep longer or increase the quantity of spices slightly.
- This tea is best consumed warm and fresh, but can be stored in the refrigerator for 1-2 days and reheated gently.
