Notes
The nutrition label is for the tea only and does not include the optional honey, coconut oil, or black pepper.
Storage: Store any leftovers in an airtight container. The ginger turmeric tea will last about 5 days in the fridge. You can reheat on the stovetop or in the microwave, or you can enjoy cold or iced.
Substitutes: For best results, follow the recipe as is. However you can substitute 1/2 teaspoon of ginger powder or 1/2 teaspoon turmeric instead of using the fresh roots. I highly recommend using fresh though if possible.
