Notes

  1. Adjust pepper- cumin powder according to your spice level
  2. If you feel the tea is spicy add a few drops of honey or dilute the tea with warm water
  3. If you don’t have fresh turmeric root use 1 teaspoon of turmeric powder instead
  4. Ginger powder can be used instead of grated ginger
  5. I used frozen turmeric root so I grated but if you are using room temperature Turmeric cut them into pieces
  6. Instead of discarding the filtered turmeric, ginger is use for cooking
  7. I used peeler to grate my lemon skin. Avoid cutting the white pasty of lemon skin. Lemon zest can be used instead
  8. If you get holy basil/tulsi add it to the tea
  9. Tea can be stored in a mason jar and kept in the fridge for 2/3 days. Warm before drinking
