It can be prepared using turmeric root or turmeric powder. We all know the benefits of turmeric. And turmeric tea is a great way to add this spice into your diet. It comes to rescue when you suffer from cold, it has a warming effect, makes you feel cozy. It also helps to cure an upset stomach. Turmeric tea is a mood lifter too, so if you want to de-stress yourself, do that with a cup of this beverage.
Note: Turmeric tea should be consumed in moderation.
Turmeric: You can use the fresh turmeric root or turmeric powder to make this tea. 1 tbsp of grated turmeric or ½ a tsp of turmeric powder is what is needed for a cup of turmeric tea. However, you can increase or decrease the quantity as per your liking.
Spices: Although optional but why not? You only enhance the taste and goodness of your tea with a few spices such as cinnamon, black pepper, etc. I have used these along with cloves. You can use spices of your choice such as cardamoms, star anise, etc.
Sweetener: It is absolutely optional to sweeten the turmeric tea. However, if you wish to you can add in sugar or maple syrup. I have used honey. If using honey it is important to not add it when the tea is too hot. Strain it and add honey.
Lemon: Lemons, a great source of Vitamin C and adds a kick to the beverage! I have used lemon juice. You can also use lemon zest. Instead of lemon zest, you can even flavor the turmeric tea with orange zest.
Curcumin is present in turmeric. It gives the spice its yellow color and has anti-inflammatory and immune-boosting properties. Turmeric has several health benefits. The same has been mentioned here:
