Ingredients
Scale
- 1 tablespoon High-quality Raw Manuka Honey (UMF 15+)
- 1 cup Filtered water
- 1 bag Organic Green Tea (rich in EGCG)
- 1/2 inch Fresh ginger root, thinly sliced
- 1/4 teaspoon Ground turmeric
- 1 teaspoon Freshly squeezed lemon juice
- 1 pinch Freshly ground black pepper
- 1 small sprig Fresh mint
Instructions
- Step 1: Heat Water – Bring your filtered water to a gentle simmer, ensuring it does not reach a rolling boil to protect the tea’s antioxidants.
- Step 2: Steep Tea – Place the green tea bag in your favorite mug and pour the hot water over it, allowing it to steep for 3 minutes.
- Step 3: Infuse Ginger – Add the sliced ginger to the hot tea and let it rest for an additional 2 minutes to extract the anti-inflammatory compounds.
- Step 4: Add Spices – Stir in the ground turmeric and black pepper, which helps the body absorb the turmeric’s curcumin more effectively.
- Step 5: Temper Temperature – Allow the tea to cool for a moment until it is warm rather than hot to avoid damaging the honey’s delicate enzymes.
- Step 6: Incorporate Honey – Gently stir in the Manuka honey until it is completely dissolved, creating a smooth and sweet consistency.
- Step 7: Add Citrus – Squeeze in the fresh lemon juice to add a boost of Vitamin C and balance the earthy flavors of the turmeric.
- Step 8: Final Garnish – Top the drink with a fresh mint sprig and sip slowly to enjoy the full wellness benefits of this golden elixir.
