Okay so, our two cups of water is almost boiling. I'm going to add a heaping half teaspoon ground turmeric to that and stir it around and cover and reduce the heat to a simmer, and we'll just let that simmer for 10 minutes.
Okay, I like turmeric tea plain, unsweetened and I like it cold, very refreshing in the summer. You can add ginger to it if you want, its fine adding other spices to it but it's got a pretty distinctive taste,
I like it as it is. So I'm going to turn off the heat and it might be best to let this settle for a bit because you don't want the residue, but I’m going to use the following tea strainer here and I’m just going to pour this, and if you find that the strength of it is too strong for you, you can just dilute it with water. That's good, that's filtering out all the residue. Let me get a spoon.
And that’s turmeric tea!

Ground pepper and black seed

[@pantherinparadise9686]

[@helpfulnatural]

I make a turmeric paste with distilled water. This is stored in my fridge as a concentrate and is used 1 teaspoon at a time. I like to mix a teaspoon into a cup of warmed almond or soy milk and just a drop or 2 of honey, during the cold winter months. This is know as "Golden Milk". It's especially good right before bedtime, it's so soothing and comforting.

[@maureenhanratty7388]

Thank you

[@mariapagani1214]

Hi you put black pepper?

[@nixodian]

Heat first.?

[@helpfulnatural]

@@nixodian The turmeric and water mixture are cooked on the stove to a semi thick paste before adding to any beverage.

[@nixodian]

helpfulnatural I simmered for 10mins 4tsp of turmeric, sprinkles of black pepper and cinnamon powder. Added way too much water to form paste but still concentrated. Enjoy over 2 days added to my daily green tea. Not too much right? Heating too long is not beneficial for the curcumin in turmeric?

[@lillissy2002]

I believe you need to use black pepper too, supposedly it activates some benefits of the tumeric

[@edsharpe2800]

absolutely correct lissy, and the guy should mention this. Tumeric contains curcumin, which is the active ingredient with the health benefits. BLACK Pepper containers pipperin, which increases the absorption of curcumin by 2000%.

a sprinkling .... like you would put on your meal

[@ronjenkins91148]

I have been making turmeric tea for years to help with knee pain. Very effective. I use fresh turmeric, cut up and simmered for 1 hour. I keep in the fridge and take two tbsp each morning.

[@ronjenkins91148]

I also add black peppercorns.

[@susanryan985]

Doesn’t it make such a mess though? Everything is orange . I dread cutting it or peeling it

[@Djlullaby22]

When I make turmeric tea, I boil the water then add half a teaspoon and a bag of green tea. Wait 3 minutes and drink. You can add lemon and honey if you want.

[@TheDajoca]

Oil can help with increased absorption, but black pepper (piperine) increases curcumin absorption by up to 2000%. Curcumin is the main important part and is only ever about 2% of the total weight of turmeric.

[@ClearerThanMud]

I was VERY surprised that he did not add a pinch of black pepper and tell us why he did so!

[@danielsoares3737]

I boil 1 cup of water, throw in 1 teaspoon of turmeric with some crushed pepper corns, let it boil for about two minutes, then add the juice of a full lemon. Sit back and enjoy! SO GOOD! I take this every night before bed. I should probably try to get one more of these in per day.

[@quicknutrition2874]

Thanks Daniel for the good tip. Do you feel the effects from consuming turmeric?

[@vegeta9411]

Daniel Soares can i use ground turmeric? i did it once and i didn't like it. I probably put too much.

[@danielsoares3737]

Legacy Vibez​ Yes... That is what i use. Once the turmeric and black pepper have boiled for about two minutes throw it all in a tea cup. Add lemon once it is in the cup. The lemon helps with the flavor.

[@vegeta9411]

Daniel Soares thanks for replying. Im gonna try it again. I hope i like your recipe.

[@danielsoares3737]

Legacy Vibez Just like having lemon tea.

[@caroltanzer9515]

So glad that I read the comments. Just read something relating to the question I was going to ask so my post will be shorter :). I'm using turmeric root, the root, and fresh ground black peppercorns and wondering if I should simmer the pepper with the turmeric root or add after. Anyone have experience with his? Also, I think Dr. Weil does know about the efficacy of the black pepper with turmeric, but is keeping it simple for all generic turmeric tea uses, therapeutic as well as casual tea drinking enjoyment.

[@newera5238]

Thank you for showing me that I need a strainer! Because I tried to make it on my own, and I never had no one tell me or any book or video show me. I love the way it naturally taste, one day I tried to drink it so fast because it tastes so good, and it wasn't the best results I'll just say😷. But now that you describe the residue that make perfect sense, now I am man enough to try it again tomorrow. Because it does taste and smell pretty great, I never knew that it tastes like that and smell that great by itself. I brought it originally to mix it with honey and lemon to fight off my third case of pneumonia in 20 years, this was my first time ever using it and it really helps suppress my cough. I just happened to fall in love with the smell of the turmeric and taste itself😊.

[@TheRaoulsdaddy]

Im led to believe that an oil component(my choice is coconut oil)slows down the digestive properties to get maximum benefit adding the cracked black pepper improves the bioavailability,and heating it as you do destroys some of the positive effects.I use grated organic when is available with the black pepper and fresh grated ginger into a pineapple smoothy,works better than the pain pills for my arthritis.

Can you suggest something for me for 'neuralgia' from 'shingles' and also something for sore feet, circulation problems PLEASE.? And thank you for being here for me as I just bought a computer and joined the internet today.

[@hmwoodring]

My wife and I really enjoy turmeric tea. In addition to freshly chopped turmeric I also add freshly chopped ginger and then grind in an ample amount of extra bold spicy peppercorns. Simmer 10 minutes then strain. Yum!

[@matteo4m]

Good point about the pepper. I'm a little surprised Dr. Weil didn't mention anything about adding pepper for increased absorption.

[@Dark6star]

And you prefer this recipe cold you said?

[@hmwoodring]

Dark6star We prefer it cold as we generally have hot Do-Matcha tea in the mornings. Another interesting point is how long this stays good in the refrigerator. Some time ago our turmeric/ginger/pepper tea mixture got pushed to the back and forgotten for months as we have two containers usually. Opened it up and it was as good as the day we made it. Consuming this with an anti-inflammatory diet and, of course, home-made sauerkraut and we may just see 120 or so.

[@hmwoodring]

matteo4m Agreed. Interestingly enough, the added ground pepper doesn't make the tea a total pepper extravaganza. And I add at least six good twists of course ground. It all balances out very tastily. It has such a clean and refreshing aftertaste.

[@valnaples]

matteo4m Yes, have also read the research about piperine in the ground black pepper improving the uptake in our bodies for the turmeric! Doc might mention it in the next video! :-) Edit: and I think the first place I learned about the piperine & curcumin was on his website! hee!

[@blueotter5990]

i use grated turmeric root then add black pepper and a splash of apple cider vinegar and some agave syrup. it makes a wonderful drink and you can feel it doing you good.

[@sofhab280]

Turmeric and ginger iced tea sounds delicious-will try this evening-Thanks!

[@magetaaaaaa]

I heard that black pepper helps the absorption of some of the compounds in turmeric by up to 2000%! That is an incredible number. When I make this tea I put in some freshly ground black pepper and it was very spicy! I put some honey in it to mellow out the spice but it is still very bold! I would say it's almost on par with a weak jalapeno

[@NeerakarUprety]

I believe its better if you boil the water, let it cool down a little then add turmeric in a cup and add water. If you boil turmeric it might not retain its benefits.

[@raczyk]

Where did you get this information? I'm trying to determine if it is better to boil or just steep the tea? Right now I'm just steeping the tea with dry herbs.

[@lonewolf278]

The piperine in black pepper increases the bioavailability of curcumin. Also, since turmeric is fat-soluble the curcumin is better absorbed when combined with a fat.

[@rebekawhite9211]

indeed

[@TeesSmootheSounds]

I was perplexed when Dr. Weil Boiled the water, added the Turmeric & COOKED the nutrients! I have never seen RED turmeric and I have been cooking w/ it for years. Only recently my Facial Sponge turned this color AFTER I removed Baking Soda from my face AFTER having previously removed Turmeric from my face (which Dyed my sponge). Could the Discoloration have been caused by the Acid from the "Pot" he was using?

Nikos, did you know that artificial sweetner affects your brain? It is dangerous and can have a long lasting negative effect on your memory, can eventually cause you to develop many psychological problems Do your research! One of my dear friends used to drink diet pop and she ended up in a wheel chair. Doctors couldn't figure out what the problem was. Eventually she stopped drinking diet pops, etc. After a few years, she began to walk again and was able to think clearly, her memory improved. She swears that she will never use sweetner again. Please do not use any form of artificial sweetner and like I said, do the research. I just found out that Pepsi is starting to put Aspertame back in the Diet Pepsi regardless of U.S. FDA laws.
