Ingredients
- 4 cups mineral water
- 1 teaspoon turmeric powder (or better a 3-inch root of fresh turmeric root, peeled)

- coconut nectar or dark-liquid stevia, to taste
- juice of a full lemon
Method
Put water into a small pan and bring to a boil on the cooker.
Make sure that the water has come to a full boil. Add turmeric and ginger to the boiling water and reduce to simmer for 8 to 10 minutes. This will extract the beneficial compounds from the turmeric and ginger. Remove the pan from the heat.
Strain the tea into a cup through a fine-mesh strainer to filter out the particles of turmeric and ginger. Add the nectar or stevia and lemon to taste.
May refrigerate or keep at room temperature over the day.
