• Combine turmeric, ginger, pepper and water in a pot on the stove. Gently bring to a boil. Reduce heat, cover and let simmer gently for 10-15 minutes.
• Let cool slightly (covered) and then strain through a fine-mesh strainer.
• For each 1 cup serving, add lemon juice and a bit of raw honey just before drinking.
• Enjoy as a soothing hot tea or as a refreshing cold tea (pour over ice cubes in a glass and garnish with lemon slices and a cinnamon stick)
• Store any extra in a covered glass jar in the fridge.

Golden Turmeric Milk

• In place of all or part of the water, use milk or milk alternative to make a soothing, warm turmeric milk. (Leave out the lemon juice.)
