Turmeric Green Tea — Antioxidant Blast!
5 minServes 2
This super-simple green tea adds a blast of flavor and healthy antioxidants with a shake of ground turmeric … delicious and oh-so-healthy! Preferably, use a tea strainer with loose green tea — the tea is less expensive this way and causes less waste. If you don't have one, it can be made with tea bags also.
Ingredients
- Loose green tea (or 2 tea bags)
- About 1 tsp powdered turmeric (more if you like)
- 2 cups water
Instructions
- 1Add green tea and about 1 tsp powdered turmeric to a tea strainer.
- 2Bring water to a boil, take off the heat, and wait a minute or two to let it cool just a bit.
- 3Put the tea strainer in the first cup and pour water over all. Let the tea brew for about 2–3 minutes.
- 4Remove the strainer and move to the second cup to repeat the brew, adding about half a tsp of turmeric to make up for the parts that strained into the first cup. Brew for about 2–3 minutes.
Jennifer's tip
Recent tests among common brands have shown Teavana Gyokuro Imperial Loose-Leaf Green Tea to have the highest levels of EGCG — the antioxidant in green tea believed to be most responsible for its health benefits.
