Turmeric and ginger are both known for their anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties. Combining the two spices into a tea is not only flavorful but provides amazing health benefits.

• 1½ tablespoons chopped fresh ginger
• ½ teaspoon ground turmeric
• ¼ teaspoon ground cinnamon
• Dash black pepper (omit for AIP)
• 10 drops liquid stevia extract (optional)
• Lemon slices (optional, for garnish)

Bring 2 cups water to a boil in a medium saucepan. Add the ginger, turmeric, cinnamon, and black pepper. Reduce the heat and simmer for about 10 minutes.

Strain the ginger out, if desired, and pour into large mugs. Add sweetener, if desired. Top each with a slice of lemon for garnish and flavor, if desired.

Notes

Dried stevia leaves work well as a sweetener in tea.
