If you read my blogs, you know my love for teas. I love sipping on hot teas throughout the day, and I am always looking for new flavors to add to my collection.
I visited a restaurant recently and saw this pineapple ginger tea on their menu. It sounded very interesting, so I ordered myself a cup, and I am so glad I did. It was one of the most comforting and soothing teas I had tasted.
After coming back home, the first thing I did was order a pineapple to replicate the recipe. This tea was made repeatedly over the next few days. I made this drink without tea leaves, just like how it was served at the restaurant, but you can also make it with them.
You can make a big batch of this tea and refrigerate it in an airtight container for 3-4 days. Just reheat and serve.

Ingredients

Ginger – Fresh ginger roots give this pineapple ginger tea a nice spicy kick. If fresh ginger is unavailable, you can use ground ginger in its place.

How To Make Pineapple Ginger Turmeric Tea
Preparation
Peel a large ripe pineapple and cut it into ½-inch pieces. You can also use the pineapple core, since it will be boiled and strained anyway.
Peel a 2-inch piece of ginger and cut it into thin slices.
Peel 1-inch piece of fresh turmeric and cut it into thin slices. If fresh turmeric is unavailable, then replace it with ½ teaspoon organic turmeric powder.
Make The Tea
Step 1: Add the following ingredients to a large pot.
- 1 large pineapple (peeled and cut into ½ inch pieces)
- 2-inch piece of ginger (peeled and cut into thin slices)
- 1-inch piece of fresh turmeric (peeled and cut into thin slices)
- 4 cups of water
Step 2: Keep the pot over medium-high heat and bring the mixture to a boil.
Now, reduce the heat to low and let the mixture simmer for 30 minutes.
Step 3: Strain the mixture into a large pitcher using a large mesh strainer. Press the solids with a spoon to extract as much liquid as possible.
Step 4: Add ¼ cup of honey and stir until dissolved.
Step 5: Stir in 2 tablespoon lemon juice.
Step 6: Pour the tea into serving tea cups and serve hot.
If you want to make iced tea, then cool down the tea to room temperature. Then refrigerate it for 3-4 hours or until chilled.
Step 7: Pour the chilled tea over ice cubes and serve.

This sounds amazing, but to receive the full benefit of Turmeric, you must also have black pepper. I use organic black peppercorns in my detox water every morning.
Thanks for the tip, Joy. I have included it in my post.
