A new go to tea for me. I love that it uses fresh turmeric and ginger because I’ve been trying to put them in my diet more. I make batches of the tea and drink it throughout the week just by warming up a cup on the stove. I think the ginger flavor might get stronger over time but still delicious.
So glad to hear that you’re loving it, Margaret! Making batches of it is such a good idea!
