Ingredients
1
tablespoon fresh ginger, sliced
½
tablespoon fresh turmeric (or ½ teaspoon ground)
1
cinnamon stick
¼
cup
fresh mint leaves
⅓
cup
pineapple, chopped
1
cup
water
1
Lemon Verbena tea bag (tag removed)
Optional: 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar, lemon slice, honey
Instructions
Add ginger, turmeric, mint, pineapple, water, and the tea bag to a medium pot.
Bring to a simmer on low heat.
Once simmering, remove from heat and cover.
Let the tea steep for 10 minutes.
Strain into your favorite mug or pitcher.
Stir in optional ingredients if using.
Serve hot, or chill and pour over ice.
Notes
You can prep this tea ahead of time and store it in the fridge for up to 2 days.
I like to make a double batch and keep it in a mason jar.
If you're going iced, add the apple cider vinegar and lemon after it's chilled.
Want it sweeter? Just a dab of honey does the trick.
