About Pineapple Ginger Tea
If you read my blogs, you know my love for teas. I am always looking for new flavors to add to my collection.
Recently, I visited a restaurant and saw pineapple ginger tea on the menu. It sounded very interesting, so without wasting any time, I ordered myself a cup. 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. This tea was made on repeat for the next few days. I made it without tea leaves, but you can also make it with them.
Enjoy this drink chilled on a hot summer day, or serve it warm during the colder months.
Ingredients
Pineapple – Choose a ripe pineapple to make this tea.
Ginger – Fresh ginger roots give this tea a spicy kick. If fresh ginger is unavailable, use ground ginger in its place.
Turmeric – Use fresh turmeric roots or turmeric powder.
Others – You will also need honey, lemon juice, and ice cubes.
Replace honey with maple syrup or agave nectar to make a vegan tea.
To make this drink with tea leaves, add a teaspoon of black tea, chamomile, green tea, oolong tea, or Earl Grey tea.
How To Make Pineapple Ginger Turmeric Tea
Preparation
Peel a large pineapple and cut it into ½-inch pieces. You can also use the core since it will be boiled and strained.
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. You can replace fresh turmeric with ½ teaspoon organic turmeric powder.

Strain the mixture into a large pitcher. Press the solids with a spoon to extract as much liquid as possible.
Add ¼ cup honey and stir until dissolved.
Stir in 2 tablespoon lemon juice.
Pour the tea into tea cups and serve hot.
To make iced tea, allow the tea to cool to room temperature. Refrigerate for 3-4 hours or until chilled.
