Golden Turmeric - dIY Tea Recipe

Ingredients:

• 1 teaspoon ground turmeric (or a small piece of fresh turmeric root, grated)
• 1/2 teaspoon ground ginger (or a small piece of fresh ginger, grated)
• 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
• 1 teaspoon honey (adjust to taste)
• 1 teaspoon coconut oil (optional)
• 1 cup water
• 1/2 cup milk (dairy or plant-based)

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Turmeric Mixture:

   • In a small bowl, combine the ground turmeric, ground ginger, ground cinnamon, and ground black pepper. If using fresh turmeric and ginger, grate them finely.

2. Boil the Water:

   • In a saucepan, bring 1 cup of water to a boil.

3. Infuse the Turmeric:

   • Add the prepared turmeric mixture to the boiling water. Reduce the heat and let it simmer for about 5 minutes to allow the flavors to infuse.

4. Add Milk:

   • Pour in the milk of your choice (dairy or plant-based). Simmer for an additional 2-3 minutes, ensuring it doesn't come to a boil.

5. Sweeten and Flavor:

   • Add honey to sweeten the tea, adjusting the quantity to suit your taste. If desired, add a teaspoon of coconut oil for added richness and flavor.

6. Strain and Serve:

   • Using a fine mesh strainer, pour the tea into your favorite mug to remove any residue. Discard the residue or reuse for compost.

7. Enjoy:

   • Sip and savor the warm, golden goodness of your homemade turmeric tea. Feel free to adjust the ingredients to achieve your preferred taste and consistency.

Note: Turmeric can settle at the bottom of the cup, so give it a gentle stir if needed. Experiment with the ingredient ratios to find the perfect blend that suits your palate.
