TURMERIC TEA ELIXIR
Though turmeric can be a bit of an “acquired taste,” if you have the gumption to get over the hump, you’ll find yourself craving it daily! This anti-inflammatory, earthy elixir is perfect to send you off you bed or (with a touch of lemon) send you into the day!
Recipe Notes
I’ll explain here the way that I prefer to prepare my turmeric tea elixirs. I should note that, while I like to make them to order, those of you that want to simplify things can actually make this process even quicker— Prepare a batch of base spices and storing a mason jar of ready-to-go ingredients in the cabinet, then all you’ll need to do is combine with hot water and stir it up! Also, while I combine the water and spices in the mug itself, there are two other methods that you may like to try: Preparing the elixir over the stove by heating the water up and stirring in the ingredients, then transferring to mug/mugs; Combining hot water and ingredients in a blender, then transferring to mug/mugs.
Ingredients
Base:
- 2 tsp Turmeric
- 2 tsp Cinnamon
- 1/2 tsp Black Pepper
- 8-10 oz water
Optionals:
- dash of cardamom, maca to make it extra warm & earthy
- dash of cayenne pepper, cacao powder for a mexican-chocolate take
- lemon for a “brighter” taste
- swap out the black pepper for 1 tsp coconut oil
- nut milk can be added to any turmeric elixir if you’re feelin’ a fancy latte
Steps
- Heat your water in a kettle and prepare your spices as it warms
- Combine spices of choice into a mug. If you’re sharing with friends, simply multiply accordingly. I like to line up all of the mugs and add the ingredients one by one across the line (like a bartender)!
- Use a spoon to mix the ingredients up at the bottom of the mug
- Once the water is hot (not boiling) pour water over the top and give it another stir
- If you are going latte-style, add at the end
- Sip slowly and savor the goodness
