Recipe Overview

Prep Time: 5 minutes
Cook Time: 10 minutes
Total Time: 15 minutes
Servings: 2 cups

Ingredients

2 cups water
1 tablespoon fresh ginger, grated
1 tablespoon honey (or to taste)
1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice (about ½ a lemon)
1 teaspoon turmeric powder (or 1 tablespoon freshly grated turmeric)
1 teaspoon cinnamon powder
A pinch of cayenne pepper (optional, for a warming kick)
2 green tea bags

Instructions

Boil the Water

In a small saucepan, bring 2 cups of water to a boil over medium heat.

Infuse with Ginger

Add the grated ginger and reduce the heat to low.
Let it simmer gently for 5 minutes to release all the beneficial oils and flavor.

Add the Good Stuff

Remove the pot from the heat and stir in the honey, lemon juice, turmeric, cinnamon, and cayenne pepper.
Whisk well to combine — the turmeric can settle at the bottom, so keep it moving.

Steep the Green Tea

Place the green tea bags into the pot and let them steep for 2–3 minutes (longer if you prefer stronger tea).
Remove the tea bags and stir again.

Serve and Soothe

Pour the tea into your favorite mug and sip slowly while warm.
If desired, add a slice of lemon or a cinnamon stick for garnish.
