Step 1

To prepare the turmeric, slice it into thin rounds (no wider than ¼-inch). Combine the sliced turmeric and water in a saucepan over high heat.

Step 2

Bring the mixture to a simmer, then reduce the heat as necessary to maintain a gentle simmer for 5 minutes.

Step 3

Remove the pot from the heat. Carefully pour the mixture through a mesh sieve into a heat-safe liquid measuring cup, or directly into a mug.

Step 4

If desired, serve with a lemon or orange round and/or a light drizzle of honey or maple syrup, to taste. Serve hot.

Chef’s notes

Change it up:

Choose just one optional flavoring—1 cinnamon stick, several twists of coarsely ground black pepper, 1-inch piece of fresh ginger (cut into thin slices, same as the ginger), or several sprigs of fresh mint. Combine with the turmeric and water before warming the mixture.
