Turmeric Tea
Turmeric Tea is a great way to get the digestive and immune-boosting benefits of turmeric daily. This is also known as Golden Milk.
Turmeric tea is a delicious and healthy beverage that has been enjoyed for centuries. Made from the roots of the turmeric plant, this tea is known for its many health benefits. It has a warm and slightly spicy flavor, and is often enjoyed as a natural remedy for a variety of ailments.
One of the key ingredients in turmeric tea is curcumin, which has been shown to have powerful anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties. This makes it a great choice for those looking to reduce inflammation in the body, or to protect against oxidative stress.
In addition to its health benefits, turmeric tea is also a great way to warm up on a cold day. It can be enjoyed with a touch of honey or lemon, or even mixed with other spices like ginger or cinnamon for a unique and flavorful twist.
If you're looking for an easy way to incorporate turmeric into your diet, turmeric tea is a great place to start. Just be sure to choose high-quality ingredients that are free from additives or artificial ingredients, and enjoy it as part of a balanced and healthy lifestyle.
Serves 4
Ingredients:
1 piece, 1 inch turmeric root (peeled and grated)
1 1/2 piece, 1 inch ginger root (peeled and grated)
2 tsp ghee
1 cup coconut milk
1/2 cup unsweetened coconut water
1/2 cup water
1/2 tbsp. honey
Method:
Peel both the turmeric and ginger, then grate them finely using a mortar and pestle.
Spoon the ghee into the mortar and grind the ghee into the turmeric and ginger with your pestle until they form a fine paste.
Pour the coconut milk, coconut water, and water into a saucepan, and spoon in the paste made with turmeric, ginger and ghee.
Turn the heat up to medium and warm the ingredients together until little bubbles just begin to creep up the sides of the pot.
Turn off the heat and cover the saucepan, allowing the turmeric and ginger to steep about 3 minutes.
Strain the golden milk through a fine-mesh strainer or tea strainer into a tea pot. Stir in the honey and continue stirring until it dissolves. Serve warm
