Heat 1-2 cups of water in a pot or kettle. Bring it to a gentle boil.
Once the water is boiling, add 1 teaspoon of turmeric powder and 1/4 teaspoon of black pepper.
Reduce the heat and let the mixture simmer for about 10 minutes. This allows the flavors and beneficial compounds to infuse into the water.
After simmering, pour the tea through a fine-mesh strainer or cheesecloth into a cup to remove any solid particles.
If desired, add a squeeze of fresh lemon juice for flavor and a dash of honey or a natural sweetener like Stevia to enhance sweetness. Be mindful of the added sugars if you're aiming for weight loss.
Mix the ingredients thoroughly to ensure the honey or sweetener is well blended.
Pour the turmeric pepper tea into your cup and enjoy it while it's warm.
Feel free to adjust the quantities of turmeric, pepper, sweetener, or lemon juice to suit your taste preferences. You may also consider varying the water-to-ingredient ratio for a stronger or milder flavor.
