Healing Detox Tea with Turmeric

Inspired by The Seasonal Detox Diet, by Carrie

L'Esperance (Inner Traditions, 2001).

 

There has been a lot in the news lately about the amazing

healing properties of turmeric, a free-radical-fighting antioxidant-rich curry

spice that has been hailed as a defense against both cancer and Alzheimer's.

When we found this tasty recipe for a warming, detoxifying ginger-turmeric tea,

we were thrilled: after the holiday season, we figured we could use some

detoxing and healing!

 

Then we tasted it, and were totally hooked: it's

delicious! Ginger and turmeric combine with citrus and maple syrup to make the

perfect blend of healing nutrients. We streamlined the recipe to make it

ultra-easy,

too:

 

2 cups water

1/2 teaspoon powdered ginger

1/2 teaspoon powdered turmeric

1 tablespoon maple syrup

Juice of 1/2 lemon

 

1. Bring water to a boil, then add powdered herbs. Simmer

for 10 minutes.

 

2. Strain tea into a mug, add maple syrup and lemon,

stirring to combine. Drink warm.

 

Makes 1 serving.

 

Blend the teas for a recipe in a plastic baggie, mixing dish,

or glass jar. Then measure out one tablespoon per cup of tea. The tea base is

Black Tea. By adding milk to your brew, you can usually

come up with a

rather flavorful beverage. But the addition of sugar may

effect the teas' potency. Store your teas in a closed jar in a cabinet away

from light .

 

 

“Fortunately

art is a community effort - a small but select community living in a

spiritualized world endeavoring to interpret the wars and the solitudes of the

flesh.”
