The main ingredients in this tea are turmeric, ginger and cinnamon. However, I added honey and lemon for extra flavor. To make this tea, you will need the ingredients listed below.
- 2 tsp of turmeric powder
- 2 tsp of ginger powder
- 1 cinnamon stick

- 5-7 cups of water
- A splash of lemon juice
- Grab a medium-sized saucepan. Add turmeric, ginger, honey, lemon juice, water and cinnamon. Bring the mixture to a boil and stir.
- Leave the mixture to simmer for 12 minutes and strain.
Alternatives
- For a more intense tea, use fresh ginger (crushed) and fresh turmeric (crushed). Make sure you strain the tea before serving to remove the bits.
- If you want more a particular flavor, then add more of that ingredient! For example, for a sweeter tea, add more honey; if you prefer a more sour taste, add more lemon juice.
- Use any sweetener of your choice. For example, use agave as a vegan option.
- Add a few ice cubes to serve this as iced tea instead.

You’re welcome, Marsha! Glad it helped.
what can I use to strain the Powdered Turmeric and Powdered ginger?
Hi Andy, you can use a coffee filter or a fine mesh filter to strain off the powder.
I came across your recipe weeks ago and recommended it to a friend, she told me that she really enjoyed the drink. Thanks.
