Summertime Turmeric Tea
There is no denying the health benefits of turmeric and ginger. This has been a refreshing favorite of mine for sometime SO taking my wintery/fall favorite and summer-ized it!
Ingredients:
- 2 quarts water
- 2 lemons, sliced
- 1/4 cup fresh ginger, chopped
- 1 tsp turmeric
- 3 cinnamon sticks
- 2 tsp lemon juice
- 2-3 tsp of stevia or maple syrup (use stevia if you want a “skinnier” version)
Instructions:
Add water, sliced lemons, chopped ginger, turmeric, and cinnamon sticks to a saucepan and bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer covered for 5-10 minutes. Remove and keep covered while allowing the mix to cool.
While cooling, add lemon juice and your sweetener choice in a pitcher.
Strain the tea as you pour it in the pitcher, discarding the cinnamon sticks, ginger, and lemon slices.
If needed add more sweetener, then simply pour over ice and ENJOY.
