Print Recipe

A soothing and immunity-boosting herbal tea combining earthy dandelion root, spicy ginger, warm turmeric, and sweet raw honey. Perfect for chilly mornings or a calming afternoon pick-me-up.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 tablespoons dried and chopped dandelion root (organic or wildcrafted preferred)
  • 1-inch piece fresh ginger, peeled and sliced thin (or 1 teaspoon ground ginger)
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground turmeric (or 1 inch fresh turmeric root, peeled and grated)
  • 1 tablespoon raw honey (local preferred)
  • 4 cups (950 ml) filtered water
  • Optional: squeeze of fresh lemon juice or a cinnamon stick

Instructions

  1. Measure 2 tablespoons of dried dandelion root, peel and slice 1-inch fresh ginger, and prepare 1/2 teaspoon ground turmeric or grated fresh turmeric.
  2. Pour 4 cups (950 ml) of filtered water into a saucepan and bring to a rolling boil over medium-high heat.
  3. Reduce heat to low and add dried dandelion root and sliced ginger. Stir gently to combine.
  4. Simmer gently for 10-12 minutes to extract flavors.
  5. Stir in 1/2 teaspoon ground turmeric (or grated fresh turmeric) about 2 minutes before finishing simmering, avoiding vigorous boiling.
  6. Remove from heat and strain the tea through a fine mesh strainer or tea infuser into mugs or a teapot, pressing gently on solids to extract extra liquid.
  7. Stir in 1 tablespoon raw honey while tea is warm (around 130°F/54°C) to preserve enzymes. Optionally add lemon juice or cinnamon stick.
  8. Serve warm and enjoy.

Notes

Add honey after tea cools slightly to preserve enzymes. Use dried dandelion root for concentrated flavor and consistency. Simmer gently to avoid bitterness. Store leftovers in airtight container in refrigerator up to 48 hours and reheat gently. Fresh turmeric adds brighter flavor but requires peeling and grating. Optional additions include lemon juice, cinnamon stick, mint, or other herbs.
