This version of turmeric tea leans heavily on the ginger, and its flavour is strong, spicy, and soothing. Using whole turmeric versus powder will give you more curcumin, the active component of turmeric with healthy anti-inflammatory properties. Curcumin is not easily absorbed by the body, but adding pepper and fats such as olive and coconut oil increases the body’s ability to absorb it.
No waste
Save strained ginger and turmeric pulp to add to smoothies or for use in cooking vegetables or adding to curry bases. Keep it, covered, for up to 3 days in the fridge.
