Notes
You can replace fresh turmeric with ½ teaspoon organic turmeric powder.
Replace honey with maple syrup or agave nectar to make a vegan tea.
Adjust the sweetness based on your preference by adding more or less honey.
You can add more ginger if you prefer a more robust ginger flavor.
Add ½ teaspoon of crushed black pepper while boiling the ingredients for better absorption of turmeric by the body.
