Total Time 30 minutes
Servings 6

Ingredients
  

  • 8 cups water (preferably purified)
  • ½ cup ginger root sliced
  • ⅓ cup turmeric root sliced
  • 2 lemons
  • 1 tsp ground cinnamon (I like ceylon)
  • ¼ tsp sea salt
  • ¼ tsp fresh cracked pepper
  • 6 bags Celestial Seasonings Honey Lemon Ginseng Tea
  • monk fruit, honey, or stevia sweeten to taste (optional)
  • chicken bone broth for mixing into individual cups (optional)
  • coconut oil for mixing into individual cups (optional)

Instructions
 

  • Halve your lemons and squeeze the juice into a container to reserve until you mix it in later. Reserve the lemon peels.
  • Add your water, ginger root, turmeric root, lemon peels, cinnamon, salt, and pepper to a pot and bring to a boil.
  • Let the mixture boil for 5 minutes, and then turn the heat down, cover, and simmer for an additional 10 minutes.
  • Add your tea bags to a pitcher. then, strain the liquid from the stove through a fine mesh strainer into the pitcher. Let the tea bags steep according to the directions on the package. This should be about 2 minutes for the recommended tea.
  • Remove the tea bags and mix in the reserved lemon juice, and your sweetener of choice. I like to add about 10 drops of pure monk fruit sweetener, but every brand's potency will be different.
  • You can cover and store this tea in the refrigerator for about 5-7 days. When you want to make a cup, heat up the desired amount of tea (about 1¼ cups for me), and then mix in a splash of bone broth and about 1/2 tsp coconut oil. Enjoy!
