It’s bootcamp Wednesday! 🙂
I had been hearing so much about turmeric tea with ginger and pepper. Pinterest is full of recipes and suggestions on preparing the perfect turmeric tea. I wasn’t sure if I would like it because I really really dislike ginger. The don’t like the smell, the taste… I just don’t like it. I couldn’t find a recipe that really “clicked” with me. So made up my own…
Turmeric Ginger Tea
3 cups water
1 tsp ground turmeric
1 tsp ginger root (peeled and chopped in very thin pieces)
1 pinch ground black pepper
1 pinch cayenne pepper
3 tbsp organic honey (you can use your sweetener of choice)
1 lemon ring + a little bit of lemon juice (squeezed from the same lemon)
Place all ingredients except the honey in a pot and bring to boil. Boil for about 5 minutes. Add the honey to your tea cup. When tea has boiled for about 5 min, pour over the honey through a strainer. (I wanted to avoid the little pieces of ginger and possible some bigger black pepper pieces). Stir until the honey dissolves. Enjoy!
I have to say… I quite enjoyed it! I think I’ll be making it again. It’s great after a workout. So refreshing!

I think I need to try this.
It’s really good. I expected to throw it out after making it to be honest 😀 haha I thought it would be too strong. But if you add enough honey, it has a really good taste. 🙂
That sounds like an interesting recipe.
It’s very refreshing 🙂
I’m a HUGE fan of lemon-ginger tea, I’ll definitely give your recipe a try some time this week 🙂 It looks yummy!
It was surprisingly delicious 🙂 I was sceptical at first but it turned out great. You can adjust the amounts to suit your taste by the way.
Do you think I could make it without ginger? I like turmeric, but not ginger…
Absolutely! You can also adjust the amounts to your taste. For example I like to have lots of lemon in my tea. So go ahead and create your favourite combination 🙂
