Turmeric Tea

Turmeric tea is a good tea to drink in the evening as the day is winding down. It aids relaxation and is said to boost the immune system while sleeping. I have a quick and easy recipe I use often during the chilly nights of winter. This tea use all the components necessary to get the complete benefit of turmeric: heat, black pepper to activate the turmeric, the fat from cashew milk to aid absorption, and ginger for taste as well as an additional immune boost. A sweetener may be added to taste.
