Recipe #22: ginger turmeric honey tea
This is a great tea to have when you’re battling a flu or cold bug, or if you just can’t get rid of a tagging post-RSV cough and have to go to a classical piano performance and don’t want to be that person coughing throughout the show. Hypothetically.
Ingredients:
Note the fancy turmeric “golden milk” powder blend. This is not necessary and plain ground turmeric will do. I just happened to be given this product by a friend who hated it and gave the rest to me knowing that I like weird stuff like this. And I do!
Directions:
Get a big travel mug and personalize it so that nobody will “borrow” it and you’ll never see it again:
Heat up some water in your kettle to a less-than-boiling setting, if possible, or to boiling if it’s your kettle’s only option. Just don’t burn your mouth on top of everything else!
Peel a chunk of ginger:
Then cut it into thin slices directly into your mug:
Add less than a teaspoon of turmeric powder—a little goes a long way:
And a generous spoonful of honey, which is Nature’s cough medicine:
Add your hot water and stir it up real good:
And off you go! Enjoy the concert cough-free!
