Total time: 20 mins
Ingredients: 2 cups water; 0.5 teaspoon ground turmeric; 0.5 teaspoon chopped fresh ginger; 0.5 teaspoon ground cinnamon; 1 tablespoon honey; 1 lemon wedge

If you find it challenging to incorporate anti-inflammatory spices into your diet, this ginger turmeric tea provides a tasty and convenient alternative to supplements. This tea is a popular beverage in Okinawa, Japan, and turmeric has a long history of medicinal use in India. A word of caution: turmeric can stain, so I recommend preparing this tea in an old mason jar wrapped in a tea towel!
