Iced Golden Tea

2 cups + 6 cups of water. (2 cups for steeping, 6 cups of cool water to add to your steeped concentrate) 

8 tsp. (or 2 heaping Tbsp.) of dried turmeric or 4 in. of fresh turmeric, thin sliced or chopped (including the skin is fine)

8 tsp. (or 2 heaping Tbsp.) of dried ginger or 4 in. of fresh ginger (or less if it’s the fatter ginger variety but it’s hard to go wrong), thin sliced or chopped (including the skin is fine)

1 tsp. ground black pepper

¼ -½ cup of honey

Add the turmeric, ginger, and pepper to a saucepan. Cover with two cups of water. Bring to a boil. Reduce the heat to a simmer for a few minutes. Turn off the heat. 

Cover your pan and allow it to steep for an hour or so or even overnight.

Add the honey in the heating stage to help it dissolve. If it is high-quality raw honey, allow the mixture to cool a bit before adding it.

Strain out the root. If you are using fresh root, you can save it and make more tea. If you are using powder, I recommend straining your mixture through cheesecloth or a tight-weave strainer just to remove some of the gritty powder. The texture of your drink will be far better.
