I’ve always found comfort in herbal teas, but this Turmeric Ginger Iced Tea holds a special place in my heart.
It reminds me of sunny afternoons spent with friends, where we’d sip our drinks and share stories about life and the healing properties of plants.

Ingredients & Substitutions
Fresh turmeric and ginger are key players in this recipe, bringing not just flavor but also their wonderful anti-inflammatory properties. If you can’t find fresh turmeric, feel free to use ground turmeric instead—just about 1 teaspoon should do. And if you're not a fan of green tea, you can swap it for herbal tea, like chamomile or peppermint.
Tips & Notes
- •I love to add a slice of lemon or a sprig of mint for an extra burst of flavor.
- •If you’re looking for a little spice, try adding a pinch of cayenne pepper to your glass!
Recipe Variations
- •Sometimes, I like to add a splash of coconut milk for a creamy twist.
- •You can also experiment with different sweeteners—agave or even stevia works well if you’re looking to cut back on sugar.
Storage & Freezing
Store any leftover tea in a sealed glass container in the fridge. It stays fresh for about 5-7 days, and the flavors deepen over time, making each glass even more delightful!
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I make this tea ahead of time?
