Yield: 8
Prep time: PT5M
Cook time: PT20M
Total time: PT25M

Ingredients
- 8 cups water
- 6-7 inches ginger, peeled & sliced (or about 2 tsp ground)
- 1 ½ tsp ground turmeric (or about 1 ½ inch fresh)
- 3 cinnamon sticks (or 1½ tsp ground)
- ⅛ tsp ground black pepper (for better absorption of turmeric’s benefits)
- ½ tsp cayenne pepper (decrease or omit if desired for a milder tea)
- ¼ - ½ cup ginger turmeric concentrate
- ½ fresh lemon (or 1 ½ tbsp lemon juice from concentrate)
- 8oz water, boiled

Instructions
1. To make the concentrated ginger turmeric tonic, combine the water and thinly sliced ginger (you can leave the ginger unpeeled if you scrub it clean). Bring the water to a low boil, reduce to a simmer, and simmer for 10 minutes with the lid partially covering the pot.
2. Add the remaining ingredients and simmer for an additional 10 minutes with the lid partially on.
3. Allow the mixture to cool then strain and store in a large glass bottle. The concentrate stores well for at least 2 weeks in the fridge.
4. When ready to make a mug of tea, boil water in your kettle. Combine ¼ - ½ cup of the concentrate with 1 ½ tbsp lemon juice or half a fresh lemon and fill your mug with as much water as you would like. You can stir in a bit of liquid sweetener of your choice.
5. Alternatively, mix the concentrate and lemon juice with ice water for an iced tea. You can even make a golden milk of sorts by skipping the lemon and water and mixing 1/2 cup or more of the concentrate with your favourite plant milk. Warm the mixture, froth it up, sprinkle on some cinnamon and nutmeg and you have a ginger turmeric latte!
