Notes
- Turmeric stains! It stains anything and everything really such as your skin and cooking ware. I recommend wearing gloves while peeling the turmeric. Keep your white pots and tea cups away from this golden and glossy ingredient.
- Increase the strength. The longer the tea steeps, the stronger it will be.
- Grate or finely chop the fresh ingredients. The finer you chop the ingredients, the more potently they will infuse the water.
- Choose the best ingredients. This sounds basic, but the quality of your ingredients will impact the benefits of the tea.
