Preparation

Step 1

1. Add water to a teapot or sauce pan, cover and bring to a boil. Remove from heat and let cool for a minute.

2. Place ginger and turmeric in a tea ball or cloth tea bag and place in a mug. Squeeze lemon juice into the mug. Pour hot water over the top, and add honey if desired. Steep for at least 4-5 minutes. You can leave tea bag in while you drink if desired. Allow to cool slightly prior to consuming.

*If you do not have a tea ball or cloth tea bag, place ginger and turmeric directly into mug, allow to steep covered for 5 minutes, and strain into another mug to avoid floating root pieces.
