Turmeric Milk Tea Immune Support
Turmeric milk tea has been consumed in traditional Indian medicine for centuries, and modern research is beginning to reveal the incredible health benefits of this tasty beverage. One of the key components of turmeric is curcumin, which has potent anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties. Some of the benefits of consuming turmeric milk tea include:
- Improved digestion and gut health due to the anti-inflammatory properties of curcumin
- Increased cognitive function, as curcumin may help to prevent brain cell degeneration
- Boosted immunity, as curcumin has been shown to enhance the activity of certain immune cells
- Reduced joint pain and inflammation, making it a popular home remedy for conditions like arthritis
All in all, turmeric milk tea is a tasty and healthy addition to any daily routine!
Here’s how to make a delicious cup of turmeric milk tea:
- Boil 1 cup of milk or water (any kind works, but full-fat milk will give you the richest flavor)
- Grate or finely chop 1 teaspoon of fresh turmeric root (or 1/2 teaspoon of ground turmeric)
- Add the turmeric and a pinch of ground ginger to the milk and simmer for 5 minutes
- Sweeten to taste with honey, sugar, or stevia
- Pour the tea into a mug and enjoy!
Some folks also like to add a pinch of black pepper, which can help your body better absorb the curcumin in turmeric.
Enjoy!
