Turmeric Tea Recipe (Golden Tea)

Step 1

Add turmeric, ginger, black pepper and ghee to a pot. Pour water and mix well. If using oil add it later before straining the tea.

Step 2

If using the whole spices, crush them coarsely in a mortar & pestle and add them to the pot.

Step 3

Bring to a boil and reduce the heat to medium.

Step 4

Boil turmeric tea for 3 to 4 mins if made with ground turmeric. Or for 5 mins if made with grated fresh root. Or boil for 9 to 10 mins if made with chopped fresh turmeric & spices.

Step 5

Let the turmeric tea rest for 2 to 3 mins and strain to a cup.

Step 6

Turmeric tea is best served hot or warm. You may stir in honey if you prefer but only in warm turmeric tea (not hot). If you want stir in some lemon juice. If you feel the tea is too strong for your taste, simply add more hot water (not cold) to dilute.
