Turmeric tea is a healthy drink that is good for boosting immunity and weight loss. Fresh turmeric root gives a nice flavor and adds a healthy element to the tea.
In my household Turmeric is one spice that is used on a daily basis. During our childhood days whenever we fell sick. Manja podi Paal is one drink Amma always prepares.
Curcumin is one active ingredient in turmeric which gives turmeric its characteristic yellow color. Curcumin is proven to have anti-inflammatory and immune-boosting functions, with antioxidants, anti-inflammatory, antiviral, and antibacterial properties. It also regulates immune cell functions against cancer. Many more healthy benefits of turmeric.
I live in Washington and the coronavirus is fast spreading here. Though no medicines have been found for n-covid19, we are trying to stay healthy by boosting immunity.
Recently I posted a question on instagram, asking what people do to improve immunity. Many people suggested lots of interesting drinks. Turmeric was an ingredient which came in most of the suggestions. I usually go for Golden latte but after going through the suggestions I thought why not turmeric tea.
I decided to make Turmeric tea vegan, like my lemon tea. Usually I make turmeric milk with turmeric powder but someone suggested turmeric root in the suggestions and I thought why not fresh turmeric root for turmeric tea.
I got some fresh turmeric root around Pongal time. Used a few pieces, and froze the remaining. Decided to use those for my turmeric tea. Nothing can beat the aroma of fresh turmeric.
In addition to the turmeric, I decided to use lemon and ginger for my turmeric tea. Lemon and ginger enhance antioxidant and antimicrobial properties and improve the taste.
Finally pepper & cumin - are my favorite ingredients. I always make freshly ground powder with equal amounts of pepper and cumin handy and use it regularly.
Butter/coconut oil or some form of fat is required to absorb the turmeric and pepper so add it before drinking
