Ginger-turmeric tea has been made and drunk in Indian homes for many generations. It is different from normal milk tea. In this, instead of tea leaves, milk and sugar, fresh ginger, turmeric, black pepper and lemon are used. This herbal tea is prepared by boiling all these things in water on low flame. The earthy taste of turmeric and mild spiciness of ginger together give it a special taste and aroma.
Natural elements called Gingerol and Curcumin are found in turmeric. Both of these are known for their antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties. Together they help support the body’s immunity, digestion, breathing problems and joint health.
Black pepper added to this tea helps in improving the absorption of curcumin. Ginger supports digestion and is considered helpful in providing relief from problems like nausea, flatulence and mild throat irritation that occur during seasonal changes.
Milk tea uses tea leaves, milk and often sugar, while ginger-turmeric tea is a herbal drink. Tea leaves are not added to it, hence it is naturally caffeine-free. For those who want to consume less caffeine, this is considered a lighter option.
To make ginger-turmeric tea, use fresh ginger and fresh turmeric. Do add some black pepper to it. Honey can be used instead of sugar. If you want, you can also add fresh basil leaves in it. Always add lemon juice after making the tea, also do not boil the tea more than necessary and always drink it freshly prepared.
Ginger-turmeric tea has very low calories. Along with this, it contains natural plant elements and antioxidants obtained from fresh herbs and spices. It also does not contain caffeine, hence it can be made a part of a balanced diet during monsoon.
