Turmeric tea with step by step pictures.

Turmeric is a yellow-orange spice used in curries and sauces. In Indian curries the use of the spice powder is mandatory. No spicy recipes can be found without it. It comes from the turmeric root. The spice has been used for its medicinal, antioxidant, and anti-inflammatory properties for thousands of years.



During winter you can find this root easily in the Indian market. You can easily grow this root. Just plant good rhizome in the soil. In a few days, you will see leaves propagating from the soil.

This tea can be made either with fresh turmeric root or with powder. This tea has many health benefits. If one regularly drinks this tea early in the morning you can see changes in your body weight.
