Frequently Asked Questions About Ginger turmeric water
How do you make ginger turmeric water?

What is Ginger turmeric water?
Ginger turmeric water is a simple infusion made by steeping fresh or powdered ginger and turmeric in water. There is no single fixed recipe or place of origin, though drinks made with these spices are familiar in South Asian food traditions. It can be served warm like a tisane or chilled as a light, aromatic drink. The flavour is gently peppery and earthy, with ginger’s warmth balanced by turmeric’s deeper, savoury notes; a squeeze of lemon works well. It is mostly water and very low in calories, with 4 calories per 100 grams. For an especially light version, leave out sweeteners and strain the spices before serving.
