3-4 inch turmeric root washed thinly sliced
½ lemon sliced
8 cups water
honey optional
⅛ teaspoon black pepper optional

Bring the mixture to a boil, then simmer for 20-25 minutes to deepen the color. Strain and serve immediately with honey, if desired.

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.
