Ginger-Turmeric Herbal Tea

You HAVE TO ADD PEPPER AND OIL (Coconut, EVOO, or the like) for your body to absorb the curcurmin in the turmeric. Otherwise you will get NO BENEFITS from turmeric. I just started drinking this to see if it will help with my Polymyalgia Rheumatica Autoimmune Disease I was recently diagnosed with. It’s an inflammatory disease and is EXTREMELY PAINFUL. So I am praying this is a natural way to help me relieve the pain.

Great drink once a day or twice

I wasn’t for sure how it was going to taste and what a surprise I got. This tea is wonderful. I do have one concern though, I have always thought that black pepper was needed to activate the turmeric in order to get the full benefits, but you did not add it.

Hit the spot!

This is not a tea at all; it is a turmeric-ginger hot beverage. As a result, it is missing the body a tea provides (tastes like watered down tea). The flavor of the spice blend is lovely, however. By adding tea leaves, which provide polyphenols (an antioxidant), you will further improve the nutritional value. So, next time I will steep this concoction with some black or green tea leaves for a hardy warm winter drink.

This is a great recipe, full of antioxidants which especially are great if you’re sick! I live in Okinawa, so I can safely say that this tea isn’t as popular as you may think. We’re more into matcha, apple, lemon, or green tea out here! Great recipe nonetheless.

I’ve been drinking this tea everyday morning after my short walk since I saw this recipe. It’s keeping me strong and not getting cold more often.

The tea is very lovely. Great taste. Though I added a bit more honey for sweetness. .

Good recipe. I just throw a 2″ piece of ginger in the blender with a heaping teaspoon of turmeric and a quart of cold water and blend it thoroughly. Strain into glass. Good mixed half and half with some high quality tonic water too.

I love this tea. I wasn’t feeling great tonight and wanted something tasty, healthy, and hot. I used about 1/2 of the honey, used a microplane for the ginger, and didn’t use a strainer. This was perfect!

Excellent! Sweetened it with stevia. Made a first batch to test and then made a double batch immediately to keep on hand for a few days. I don’t feel it needs lemon.

I’m a covid longhauler who’s willing to try anything 8 months in. I quadrupled the recipe, halved the honey, added 10 whole cloves and 2 green tea teabags. Steep

Delicious and so good for you. I finished mine off with a squeeze of added lemon.

Wow, just Wow! I made a little changes based on my laziness – I boiled the water using an electric kettle, stir to mix with other ingredients, and use several lemon wedges (from 1 medium lemon). I just had the most flavorful, most comforting cup of tea. Thank you for such a wonderful recipe.

Tastes disgusting but truly works!!! I didn’t add the honey though…

I made it exactly as recipe called for. I like the health benefits of it so it will be a regular recipe for me to use. It is quite good especially since you add honey to it. Execellent choice!

I love this drink! I only have dried spices on hand and they work just fine for me. I drink it nice and hot. I make it every time I feel a sore throat coming on and it helps every time. I don’t strain the spices out, but they can get a little overwhelming at times. If you keep them in make sure to stir before you pour into a cup and a few times before you drink otherwise they sit on the bottom and the last bit is all spice.

Had the Covid-19 Virus, used this hot tea remedy to get well much quicker than it might have taken. Tastes good too! I really should pass this on to my Neurologist who got me sick!

Love the taste! R. Winn

I used Lemon Water, no honey or sugar. It was great.

Not bad.
