Turmeric, on the other hand, is great for your skin, improves the function of the liver, and contains strong anti-inflammatory properties.

Ingredients:

• 1-2 Tbsp. black or green looseleaf tea (or a tea bag, depends how you prefer it)
• 1/4 tsp. cinnamon
• 1/8 tsp. turmeric
• 1 tsp.+ stevia, honey, or any type of sweetener you’d like
• lemon slices, optional

How to prepare it:

Put the cinnamon, tea, turmeric, and sweetener to the bottom of a French press. Or, if you go with the tea bag, heat up a cup of water and put the teabag in the water. Let it saturate for several minutes and mix in the other ingredients.

Add water to the French press till it’s half full and let it steep for 3-5 minutes, stir it, and press. Once the concoction cools off add ice in a cup and pour the tea in. It’s now ready to drink. You can add some lemon slice just to make it extra healthy and refreshing.
