Tumeric Ginger Tea For Weight Loss

This Turmeric Ginger Tea has been my go-to drink all throughout the cold winter days that we are still getting used to. Though we have been enjoying this tea warm (along with a little bot of honey), come summer, I plan on serving it cold. Made with only 5 ingredients, this heartwarming natural remedy for cold winter days is ready in less than 15 minutes.

The first time I had ginger tea was when we went to Dominica back in 2013. Until then, I only used ginger in my cooking, mostly in curry dishes. However, on that small island nation, being one of the most popular plants grown on the island, ginger tea was a way of life. Islanders would start their days with a hot cup of ginger tea and then continue with ginger ice tea or ginger lemonade throughout the day.

Since then, throughout the years, my husband and I enjoyed a cup of ginger tea here and there. However lately, with Vermont winter being full force, this year we have been making some almost every day. For the last few months, I have also been adding some turmeric into it as, similar to ginger, turmeric has a ton of antioxidant and anti inflammatory benefits. They say, it helps cleanse liver, boost immunity, and help with digestion. With almost everyone around us being sick, a cup of this Turmeric Ginger Tea has been our natural medicine.

About This Turmeric Ginger Tea Recipe:

There is hardly a recipe here. All you have to do is to place the chopped ginger and turmeric into a small saucepan, add in a few slices of lemon, cover it with water and bring it to a boil. Once boiled, strain through a strainer and serve with a slice of lemon.

The amount of ginger and turmeric you use totally depends on your preference. If you like it strong, use more and vice versa. I only used a few slices of lemon, but you can add in more if you prefer.

I like my Turmeric Ginger Tea just by itself, but my husband prefers it with some honey. If we have leftovers, I placed it in a jar, keep it in the fridge to enjoy the next day as a cold beverage.
