Steps
Rinse the lemons thoroughly and trim off the ends.
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.
Grate the peeled ginger and turmeric together so they are thinly shredded.
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.
Pack the lemon-ginger-turmeric mixture into a mason jar, making sure the mixture is pressed down and compacted.
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.
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.
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.
