    "content_text": "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.\n\nSource: Teas.co.uk.

Canonical: https://teas.co.uk/recipes/turmeric/how-to-brew-lemon-ginger-and-turmeric-tea/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.",
