Description
Start the day with this flavorful and healing lemon ginger turmeric tea. A homemade detox tea recipe that supports your immune system and maintains a healthy digestive system.
Ingredients
Scale
For The Detox Tea Concentrate:
- 6 c water
- 1 chunk fresh ginger, peeled (approximately 5-6″ in length)
- 3 cinnamon sticks (or 1–2 tsp ground cinnamon)
- 1 tsp ground turmeric
- ½ tsp cayenne pepper (optional)
To Add Fresh Prior to Serving:
- 1–2 fresh lemon (add 1/4–1/2 a lemon slice squeezed fresh into the concentrate prior to serving)
Instructions
- Peel the fresh ginger root and dice into thin slices.
- Combine the fresh ginger slices and water in a large pot or saucepan over high heat on the stove.
- Bring to a boil. Then turn to low heat and let simmer for approximately 10 minutes.
- After 10 minutes, add the cinnamon sticks (or ground cinnamon), turmeric and cayenne and simmer on low heat for another 10 minutes, stirring occasionally.
- Remove from heat, let cool and strain.
- *This makes about 4-5 cups (some water will steam off while boiling) of a concentrated version of the detox tea which you can store in a glass container in the fridge. You can drink this concentrate warm or cold.
- When ready to enjoy add the juice of 1/4-½ fresh lemon juice to the concentrated mix.
- I personally like to add ¼ c of this concentrated mixture to 6 oz hot water (with fresh lemon juice).
Notes
*I personally like to make this homemade detox tea recipe in bulk. Then I store this concentrated mixture it in a large mason jar in the fridge. When I’m ready to drink, I mix ¼ cup of this concentrated turmeric ginger tea with the juice of ½ fresh lemon and 6 oz hot water.
