The Story Behind This Kehwa/Tea

I remember back in my college days when I seemed to catch a cold every other week. My Dadi (Grandmother) once asked me if I was getting enough ginger and turmeric in my diet. She told me how these two ingredients work wonders for boosting your immune system and have amazing healing properties. Her words really stuck with me! That’s when I started making Lemon Ginger Turmeric Tea, and now I swear by it.

Whenever I start to feel sick, this tea is the first thing I reach for. Not only does ginger kick that cold to the curb, but turmeric is packed with antioxidants, and the fresh lemon adds a nice zing while being rich in vitamin C.

What Makes This Recipe Special?

What I love about this tea is how incredibly convenient it is to prepare. You really don’t need fancy ingredients or complicated steps. Just grab some fresh ginger, turmeric (or ground turmeric if that’s all you have), a lemon, cumin seed, peppercorns and water. If you like it sweet, you can add a little honey too. In just a few minutes, you can have a delicious, warm cup of tea ready to sip on, helping you feel cozy and cared for.

So, the next time you’re feeling a bit off or just want something warm to soothe your soul, give Lemon Ginger Turmeric Tea a try. Plus, the smell that fills your kitchen while it brews is simply divine!

Why You Should Drink This Herbal Tea

This tea is crafted from some of the best organic ingredients, each chosen for their remarkable health benefits.

• Lemons: are excellent source of vitamin C, which plays a vital role in boosting the immune system and fighting off infections. It not only enhances the taste but also provides essential antioxidants that help protect the body from free radicals.

• Ginger: is another star ingredient in this herbal blend, known for its potent anti-inflammatory properties. Consuming ginger can help reduce inflammation in the body, making it an excellent choice for soothing sore throats, alleviating digestive discomfort, and easing muscle pain.

• Turmeric: is a powerful spice revered for its healing benefits. The active compound in turmeric, curcumin, is renowned for its anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties, which may support overall health and wellness, enhanced immune response, making it a cornerstone of this herbal tea.

• Cumin And Peppercorns: Cumin seeds are known to aid digestion by stimulating the secretion of digestive enzymes, helping to alleviate bloating and gas. On the other hand, black peppercorns contain piperine, which increases the bioavailability of curcumin from turmeric, allowing your body to absorb its health benefits more effectively.

Helpful Tips

• Always opt for fresh ginger to maximize flavor and health benefits in your herbal tea.
• I recommend using homemade turmeric powder made from organic turmeric that has been fried and ground. If homemade powder isn’t available, be sure to use organic turmeric instead of regular store-bought powder for the best results.
• Begin by boiling the cumin seeds and peppercorns along with the fresh ginger to extract their flavors. Add the turmeric towards the end of the cooking process to preserve its beneficial properties.
• Instead of squeezing the lemon directly into the saucepan, squeeze it into your cup to keep the flavors distinct and to control the amount of acidity you desire in your tea.

When To Drink This Tea

• It’s best to drink this tea on an empty stomach so your body can absorb all its amazing health benefits and help wake you up for the day.
• You can also have it after your meals to help with digestion, making you feel more comfortable and relaxed.
• Having a cup of this tea before bed is a great option too because it can help calm you down and prepare you for a good night’s sleep.
