Ingredients & Substitutions
Fresh turmeric can be a bit tricky to find, but it’s worth it for the taste and health benefits. If you can’t find it, just use about 1 teaspoon of ground turmeric. Coconut water adds a subtle sweetness, but feel free to adjust the maple syrup based on your taste preferences. The pineapple adds a tropical flair, but you could also use mango or passion fruit if you’re feeling adventurous!
Tips & Notes
- •I love to keep a batch of this tea in the fridge during summer; it’s so refreshing after being outside.
