Turmeric Ginger Tea + Video

A great health booster to sip in winter and monsoon, Turmeric Ginger Tea is just a 5 ingredient beverage. Furthermore, it gets ready under 15 minutes. And, it perks you up in no time. So, here’s a quick and simple guide to making a soothing cup of Turmeric and Ginger Tea this season!

The best part about traditional beverages like Saffron Tea, Indian Masala Tea, Fresh Ginger Root Tea and even Ginger Turmeric Tea is that they are devoid of side effects. Most importantly, turmeric, as well as ginger, have anti-inflammatory properties.

As a result, they fuse up to make one of the healthiest ginger tea recipes. This Turmeric Ginger Tea Recipe is that’s why consumed so much even in Japan. And, I don’t really have reasons as to why we shouldn’t be sipping this “elixir” often!

This tea is a breathe to make. Also, preparation-wise there is nothing much to it. All you need to do is boil together turmeric and ginger, along with water for starters. Later, honey and lemon after taking it off the heat.

Overall, Turmeric Ginger Tea is pleasantly sweet and a tad spicy because of cinnamon. You may also add black pepper if you want. But, for me, ginger and cinnamon work well.

Although many people use fresh turmeric root while making it, it is fine to use it even the dry, ground one for this tea. Infact, I have used dry turmeric in this recipe.

If you are using fresh turmeric, then use 1 tsp grated fresh turmeric in place of dry turmeric powder.

You can serve this tea hot or cold. In summers, I like to add a lot of ice cubes in the tea and serve it chilled. While in winters, I sip it hot.

As the benefits of turmeric and ginger are uncountable, so are that of this rejuvenating tea. Let’s have a closer look, still!
