This iced turmeric tea recipe is a versatile one.  Feel free to switch things up however you like.  You can drink this turmeric tea hot or cold with or without the added fruit.  But the fruit does add a refreshing taste and the added vitamin c (antioxidant) benefits especially when the tea is nice and chilled during the warm summer months. 

Iced Turmeric Tea Recipe

• Powdered Turmeric. We use powdered turmeric for this recipe, but if you want to use fresh then a good rule of thumb is 1/2 inch piece of raw turmeric equals about 1 teaspoon of ground turmeric. 
• Purified Water. Use a good purified water for this tea.
• Black Pepper. Adding just a pinch of black pepper to this turmeric tea helps to enhance the absorption of turmeric’s benefits
• Honey. Turmeric can taste a little bitter on its own. Honey adds a little sweetness making it more enjoyable to drink.
• Fresh Organic Fruit. Infusing this tea with fresh fruit adds such a delicious pop of flavor to this tea.
• Ice. Serve over ice for a cold refreshing drink.
