Tipps
Choosing and Storing Your Ginger and Turmeric
When buying ginger and turmeric, look for firm roots with a spicy fragrance. Store in a cool, dark place in your kitchen. You can even freeze them to extend their longevity.
Adjusting the Sweetness
Feel free to adjust the amount of honey depending on your preference for sweetness. You could even experiment with other natural sweeteners such as maple syrup or stevia.
Making a Larger Batch
This recipe can be easily doubled or tripled to serve more people. You can also make a large batch of tea and store it in the refrigerator to enjoy iced.
Enhance the Flavor
For an enhanced flavor, you can add a tiny pinch of black pepper. This can also help your body to absorb more of the curcumin in the turmeric.
Serve Immediately
For the best experience, drink the tea immediately after preparing. The flavors are most potent when it's freshly made.
