Inspiration from India
Step 1
Rinse your fresh ingredients.
Depending on the variant of your choice cut the ginger, turmeric, lemon into thin slices. If you do not have an organic lemon on hand just squeeze out the lemon juice.
Step 2
Bring water to a boil.
Put ingredients in to a teapot.
Pour over boiling water and let the tea steep for about 10 min.
Remarks:
The ginger turmeric variant contains a few calories because of the coconut oil. The oil helps your body to absorb the curcumin from the turmeric. Curcumin is know for having several healthy effects like being anti-inflammatory, anti-oxidant. Same applies to ginger.
Try out also other variants like pure mint tea or add lime to the ginger turmeric tea.
Enjoy!
* Nutrition details:
Glycemic load (GL): Indicates how much glucose your meal contains and how this will affect the insulin reaction in your body. You can use a total consumption value of 100g GL per day as orientation. Meaning, if you have 3 meals per day, try to stay below the 33g GL per meal to avoid overconsumption of natural sugar. For example one average banana peeled (100g) comes with a GL of 16. One small portion of white rice (40g uncooked) has a GL of 22.
Protein / 100 kcal: In order to have a filling meal and to ensure to achieve the recommended minimum protein intake of 0.8g protein / kg body weight per day a ration of more than 3g protein / 100 kcal is a good orientation for this indicator for each meal.
Vitamins and minerals: Percentages represent the percentage of recommended daily intake (based on FDA’s Daily Value). Mentioned vitamins and minerals have a particular high nutritional density in this dish. Means, if you would only eat this dish for one day, you would easily exceed the 100% of recommended daily intake for the mentioned mineral or vitamin. Please take into account that these values are just for orientation and might vary depending on your individual situation e.g. if you are a professional athlete, pregnant etc.
Costs: Approx. costs of organic ingredients in Germany.
