Making Turmeric Tea with Turmeric Powder

If you don’t have fresh turmeric roots available Here’s how do you make turmeric tea with turmeric powder along with 5 other pantry ingredients.

Ingredients

• 1 cup water
• ½ teaspoon ground turmeric (turmeric powder) or for a lesser pungent taste add ¼ teaspoon of ground turmeric powder
• ½ teaspoon Honey (or maple syrup)
• ⅛ teaspoon ground ceylon cinnamon (cinnamon powder), use ceylon
• cinnamon powder and not cassia cinnamon powder- optional
• ⅛ teaspoon ground ginger (dried ginger powder optional)
• ⅛ teaspoon crushed black pepper or ground black pepper (black pepper powder)

How To Make Turmeric Tea with Ground Turmeric

• In a saucepan take water and raw sugar or jaggery. You can even use maple syrup or skip the sweetener completely.
• Heat the water and let it come to a boil.
• Add turmeric powder, ground ceylon cinnamon, ground ginger and crushed black pepper.
• Boil further for a minute or two.
• Pour and serve. You can even strain the tea.
• Enjoy turmeric tea hot or warm.

Helpful Tips Variations & Make Ahead

• You may skip Other spices but make sure to add black pepper it helps in better absorption of curcumin from turmeric. You can add some more spices or herbs if you prefer.
• You can replace maple syrup or honey with ½ to 1 tablespoon raw sugar or jaggery or coconut sugar or palm sugar 

Pro tip: Double or triple the aromatics, then add only ⅔ cup water. Strain the concentrate into a jar and keep refrigerated 3 days. Dilute 1 : 4 with hot or cold water for instant tea.

• Iced Golden Refresher: Chill concentrate, shake with ice and sparkling water, finish with lemon round.
• Golden Milk Fusion: Swap water for unsweetened almond milk; add a pinch of cardamom for a bedtime Turmeric latte.
• Spice Boost Detox: Add a tiny slice of fresh chilli or extra black pepper to fire up metabolism.
• Zero Sweetener Keto: Skip honey; flavour with a drop of pure vanilla instead.

If you add a little bit of oil like coconut oil, avocado oil, ghee, or grass feed butter to your turmeric tea it enhances the curcumin absorption.

Storage & Reheating
