Turmeric tea is a calming and warming combination of powdered turmeric, lemon juice, and honey. It has anti-inflammatory chemicals that are beneficial to your health. And it tastes great!
TURMERIC TEA INGREDIENTS
Turmeric is one of my go-to ingredients when making healthy drinks like turmeric smoothies. This tea has a milder flavor than my jam juice, making it a delightful drink that you can sip all day. Here's everything you'll need to get started:
- Turmeric: I used ground turmeric in this recipe because it's easy to locate and maintain in my cupboard.
- Lemon Juice: A vibrant burst of citrus taste is provided by freshly squeezed lemon juice.
- Honey: I prefer a little sweetness in my tea. You may use maple syrup for honey if you like.
- Black pepper: A sprinkle of black pepper aids in the absorption of curcumin from turmeric.

THE HEALTH BENEFITS OF TURMERIC
Due to its potent anti-inflammatory qualities, turmeric is fantastic for people with autoimmune diseases (like me). According to studies, curcumin controls inflammatory signals to treat several autoimmune diseases. The anti-inflammatory properties of turmeric help fight chronic inflammation, which can weaken your immune system. This tea is a great addition to your wellness routine throughout the colder months.
Turmeric increases the creation of new neurons and may slow cognitive decline if you're aiming to improve brain health. Who wouldn't adore it if it could also delay the onset of heart disease and aging?
