This is a golden, peppery, citrus lifted cup of lemon, ginger and turmeric, the sort of warming mug to reach for on a cold day. Turmeric needs heat and time to give up its colour and its gentle peppery note, so this brews longer and hotter than a fruit tea would: a full rolling boil and a good five or six minutes.

It uses Good Earth Lemon, Ginger and Turmeric, which is caffeine free. A grind of black pepper is the one trick worth knowing, as it helps the turmeric come through more clearly in the cup.

⏱ 7 min 🍽 Serves 1 📊 Easy 📚 Turmeric Recipes

You'll need

1 Good Earth Lemon, Ginger and Turmeric tea bag
250ml water at a full rolling boil
1 teaspoon honey, to taste
A grind of black pepper, optional, which helps the turmeric come through
A slice of lemon, to finish

Method

Boil fresh water to a full rolling boil; turmeric needs the full 100C to release its colour and gentle pepper note.
Put the bag in the mug and pour the boiling water over.
Cover and steep for 5 to 6 minutes. The longer covered steep is what makes it taste warming and full rather than thin and yellow.
Lift the bag out, pressing it against the side a couple of times so all the colour goes in.
Stir in honey while it is hot, with a tiny grind of black pepper, which helps the turmeric read more clearly.
Finish with a slice of lemon and drink it hot; turmeric fades faster than Black Tea once it cools.

What you'll end up with: A glowing golden mug, bright with lemon, with real ginger heat and a warming turmeric base, finished with honey. Caffeine free.
