Turmeric Tea Recipe (Haldi )


Drinking turmeric tea can ease arthritis pain, reduce acne, and may prevent certain cancers to name just a few.
Medicinally turmeric spice is one of nature’s powerhouse in the world
health benefits of turmeric
Studies show turmeric may have anti-tumour and anti-arthritis properties
Could be effective in the treatment of malaria
May slow the progression of Alzheimer's disease by removing plaque build up in the brain.
Helps digestion and protects against ulcers by encouraging the production of gastric juices
It is a natural pain reliever

Recipe For Homemade Turmeric Tea Ingredients: (makes two cups)
2 teaspoons ground turmeric
½ a teaspoon ground ginger
½ a teaspoon ground cinnamon
Squeeze of lemon juice
2 cups of water
Agave nectar or honey (optional)

Directions:
Put the water and ground spices into a saucepan and bring to the *boil. Simmer for 2-3 minutes, then let steep (sit) for 5 minutes and pour through a tea strainer. Add lemon juice and agave or honey if you fancy a bit of sweetness.
Verdict! I used the above ingredients to make one cup! And all I can say is it's powerful stuff! It certainly has a kick! The taste wasn't bad, I think the lemon juice certainly helped.
*If using spices for health purposes, I don't boil the spices for long since boiling may destroy some of the essential oils and therefore some of the turmeric benefits.
