🌼 The “Stay Glowing” Golden Herbal Tea

A warm, anti-inflammatory tonic for daily wellness. Yields: 1 Cup | Prep time: 2 mins | Simmer time: 5 mins

Ingredients

  • 1 cup Water: Fresh, filtered water is best.

  • ½ tsp Turmeric Powder: The “golden” star of the show.

  • 1 small piece Fresh Ginger: About ½ inch, peeled and sliced or smashed.

  • 1 tiny pinch of black pepper: essential for activating the turmeric.

  • 1 tsp honey: Or to your preferred sweetness level.

  • 1 squeeze Fresh Lemon Juice: For brightness and Vitamin C.

Instructions

  1. Boil: Pour one cup of water into a small saucepan and bring it to a rolling boil over medium-high heat.

  2. Infuse: Add the turmeric powder, the fresh ginger pieces, and that tiny pinch of black pepper.

  3. Simmer: Turn the heat down to low and let the tea simmer gently for about 5 minutes. This slow “steep” allows the heat to extract the oils and nutrients from the ginger and turmeric.

  4. Strain: Place a fine-mesh strainer over your favorite mug and pour the tea through, discarding the ginger pieces.

  5. Brighten & Sweeten: Stir in your teaspoon of honey and a fresh squeeze of lemon juice.

  6. Enjoy: Sip while warm to feel that comforting, healthy glow!

Why You’ll Love It

  • Anti-Inflammatory: Both ginger and turmeric are famous for helping with joints and digestion.

  • Immune Support: The lemon and honey provide a soothing boost for the throat and immune system.

  • Caffeine-Free: Since there’s no actual tea leaf, this is a perfect “wind-down” drink for the evening that won’t keep you awake.

A “Bestie” Pro-Tip

If you want an even creamier version (like a Golden Milk Latte), you can swap the water for almond or coconut milk! Just be sure to whisk it constantly while simmering so the milk doesn’t scorch.
