Detox Recipe: Ginger Healing Detox Tea with Turmeric
by Jerry Hall Leo
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’a 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:
INGREDIENTS
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.
The organs primarily involved in natural detoxification are the liver, kidneys, bowels, skin and lungs. Find out about Detox Tea at http://www.eabout.info/detoxtea

I totally dislike this mixture. I tried tasting after the addition of each item. I think the lemon put it over the edge. I threw it out and added 1/2 tsp of tumeric to a large cup of my homemade chai tea and it was delicious. I intend to try it again with just ginger and tumeric and let it steep for a while. I would love to find a non-sweetened tumeric tea blend that it tasty because I
believe in the benefits from consuming it. I am also trying to find more recipes to add it to in order to consume more daily.
