Cinnamon Turmeric Iced Tea
- Yield: 2-3 glasses
Ingredients
- 1–2 Tbsp. black or green looseleaf tea* (I used half English Breakfast, half Ceylon. Oolong is fantastic, too!)
- 1/4 tsp. cinnamon
- 1/8 tsp. turmeric
- 1 tsp.+ maple syrup, honey, or sweetener of choice**
- lemon slices, optional
Instructions
- Add all tea, cinnamon, turmeric, and sweetener to the base of a french press.
- Add hot water half way and allow to steep for 3-5 minutes stirring once, then press. Allow to cool slightly, then remove the press and fill with ice cubes.
- Allow to come to room temperature, then press, pour into an ice-filled glass, and serve with a lemon slice.
Notes
*I very much fall into the camp that stronger iced tea is always better. 2 Tbsp. of tea here is really strong. Feel free to use less if desired.
**1 tsp. sweetener isn’t very sweet at all. I’m a huge fan of unsweetened tea, but a little bit here works really well with the cinnamon. Just a tip!
