I make a paste of honey and turmeric that keeps in a jar for easy use. I heat water, pour it over a spoonful of the paste, and finish with a big squeeze of lemon and a substantial amount of freshly ground black pepper. It's good stuff - the black pepper makes it invigorating (and also helps the body absorb the turmeric), and the honey sets off the earthy-acridness of the spice enough that the tea is still delicious.
Turmeric is a powerful anti inflammatory, so next time you are feeling aches and pains in your joints or muscles, whip up a batch of this tea and reap the benefits of a natural pain reliever your doctor would never tell you about.
