Honey Citron Tea with Ginger and Turmeric

Ingredients

• 4 lemons (unpeeled, ends trimmed)
• 3 inches ginger (peeled and grated)
• 4 pieces turmeric (peeled and grated)
• 8 oz raw honey (to cover)

Steps

1. 1

   Rinse the lemons thoroughly and trim off the ends.

2. 2

   Using a sharp knife or a mandoline slicer, thinly slice the lemons so they are about 1/8" thick. The thinner you slice them, the easier they will break down and incorporate into the finished tea.

3. 3

   Grate the peeled ginger and turmeric together so they are thinly shredded.

4. 4

   Transfer the sliced lemons and the grated ginger and turmeric into a medium bowl, and use your hands to mix them together so that the lemons are evenly coated in ginger and turmeric.

5. 5

   Pack the lemon-ginger-turmeric mixture into a mason jar, making sure the mixture is pressed down and compacted.

6. 6

   Pour the honey over the mixture, allowing it to fill the gaps in the jar, covering the mixture completely and filling the jar to the top.

7. 7

   Cover the jar and let it sit at room temperature for 2-3 days to allow the honey to draw moisture from the lemons and create a syrup.

8. 8

   To prepare tea, simply scoop a spoonful of the citron tea mixture into a mug, and pour hot water over the top. Mix, sip and enjoy!

Notes

STORAGE: Store the mixture in a sealed mason jar in the refrigerator for up to 3 months. Always use a clean spoon to avoid introducing bacteria. Ensure the fruit remains submerged in honey to prevent mold. SUBSTITUTIONS: If fresh ginger or turmeric is unavailable, use frozen grated versions rather than dried ground spices for better flavor and nutrition.
