This recipe for Turmeric Detox Tea is a warming tea that will help stave off colds and the flu! I'm craving warm things right now, and just want to walk around with a cup of this tea in my hand all of the time. It is a delicious combination of water, lemon juice, turmeric, fresh ginger, honey and cayenne pepper that you’ll want to make all winter long!
Turmeric has so many healthy properties (read more about turmeric here)! It's packed with fiber, iron, manganese, vitamin B6 and potassium just to name a few.
For the tea, you will need:
1/2 of a lemon
1 1-inch chunk of ginger root
1/4 teaspoon of turmeric (or more to taste)
honey to taste
cayenne pepper to taste
Boil enough water to fill a large mug or mason jar. Add ginger (crushed in a garlic press, or just sliced), lemon juice, turmeric, honey and cayenne. The cayenne pepper and honey add sweetness and spice.
Drink and Enjoy! You'll feel healthier with the first sip! To read more about ginger read this fabulous article about The 22 Health Benefits of Ginger Root & Ginger Tea, from one of my favorite blogs, Bembu and this article from Health Ambition.
