Ginger Turmeric Cherry Tea
This steeped-to-perfection combination is warming, calming, and oh-so-soothing. Enjoy it as needed to suppress inflammation, or as a daily Rx for ongoing benefits.
Ingredients
- 1 tea bag, black or green (regular or decaf)
- ¼ teaspoon ground turmeric
- ¼ teaspoon ground ginger
- Pinch ground black pepper
- 2 ounces tart cherry juice
Instructions
- Bring ¾ cup of water (about 6 ounces) to a boil. Place the tea bag, turmeric, ginger, and pepper in a mug, add boiling water, stir, and cover. Let steep for 3 to 5 minutes.
- While the tea is steeping, bring the cherry juice to a light boil, either on the stove top or in the microwave. Add the heated juice to the mug of tea and mix. Remove tea bag and discard.
- For a sweeter sip, you can add honey or a sugar substitute. Stir and enjoy!
Notes
• To increase the effectiveness of curcumin (the active ingredient in turmeric), include a dash of black pepper.
• For a sweeter sip, add honey or sugar substitute (I prefer stevia or monkfruit)
• You can make a big batch in advance to keep in the fridge for convenience. Then warm one mug at a time when you’re ready to sip.
