Turmeric Tea
I have this turmeric tea in the evening time. It not only refreshes me but also makes me feel better.
Thus I started mixing turmeric with water instead of milk and having it everyday. Later I started adding a few more spices in the tea and loved it.
I was not even aware that a recipe for turmeric tea already existed on the web. So when I searched there were many recipes and different ways to make this potent concoction.
Why is my Turmeric tea red?
If you see this turmeric tea is dark red and not yellow. Wonder why?
Ginger added to the water make it alkaline. Turmeric when added to an alkaline medium become red. Hence this turmeric tea will have a red color.
Don’t worry on the color part. It is still healthy and turmeric when heated is better for digestion and absorption. That is why in Indian cooking, we always heat turmeric.
Lets cook with step-by-step pictures.
Now lets see how to cook:
