"Instead, there's a perfect way to make use of those last bits of fresh turmeric root: make turmeric tea. While you might be used to seeing ground turmeric to make golden milk lattes or to add flavor to white rice without any oil or salt, the fresh root can also easily be brewed with hot water to make tea. Not only does it make for a warming drink, the fresh turmeric infuses its complex, earthy flavor"
"You can either grate it finely, mince, or slice it into thin pieces and steep in a saucepan in simmering water for about 10 minutes. Since the body's uptake of turmeric's beneficial health compound, curcumin, greatly increases when consumed in conjunction with black pepper, it's also a good idea to sprinkle some pepper into your tea along with any other complementary spices like ginger, cloves, and nutmeg."
Leftover fresh turmeric root can be brewed in simmering water to make turmeric tea that delivers earthy flavor and potential antioxidant and liver-supporting benefits. Grate, mince, or thinly slice turmeric and steep in a saucepan for about 10 minutes; larger chunks should be strained before serving. Adding black pepper boosts absorption of curcumin, turmeric's active compound, and spices such as ginger, cloves, and nutmeg enhance flavor. Peeling is optional but may reduce bitterness. The beverage serves as a warming, low-effort way to use turmeric while maximizing its culinary and health properties.
