A healthy drink to boost immunity and improve digestion.

★Ingredients

1 teaspoon of ground turmeric (or 1 inch of fresh turmeric root, grated)

2 cups of water

1/4 teaspoon of black pepper (enhances curcumin absorption)

1/2 teaspoon of ground ginger (or 1 inch of fresh ginger root, grated)

1 tablespoon of fresh lemon juice (optional, for added vitamin C and flavor)

1 tablespoon of honey or maple syrup (optional, for sweetness)

★Instructions

Boil the Water* In a small saucepan, bring 2 cups of water to a boil.

Add Spices* Once boiling, add the turmeric, ginger, and black pepper to the water. Stir well to combine.

Simmer Reduce the heat and let the mixture simmer for about 10 minutes. This allows the active compounds in turmeric (curcumin) and ginger to fully infuse the water.

Strain* Pour the tea through a fine-mesh strainer into a cup to remove any solid pieces.

Add Sweetener and Lemon* If desired, add honey or maple syrup for sweetness and a squeeze of fresh lemon juice for an extra boost of vitamin C and flavor.

Serve* Enjoy the tea warm, sipping slowly to allow your body to absorb the nutrients.

How to Use Turmeric Effectively for Health Benefits

Take with Black Pepper* Always include black pepper when consuming turmeric. Piperine in black pepper enhances the absorption of curcumin, turmeric’s active compound, by up to 2,000%.

Combine with Healthy Fats* Curcumin is fat-soluble, so consuming turmeric with healthy fats (like avocado, olive oil, or coconut milk) can improve its absorption.

Regular Consumption* For maximum health benefits, try to consume turmeric daily, in forms like this tea, golden milk, or added to soups, stews, and smoothies.
