Notes
- The recipe makes 1 large mug of tea, but feel free to make as much as you want. I usually make about 3-4 cups and keep the tea in the Thermos bottle.
- Substitute fresh turmeric with ¾ teaspoon ground turmeric
- Color: The tea will be very dark orange at first, but once you add just a little lemon juice, the tea will brighten up and look like liquid gold!
