Turkey Tail and Turmeric Tea

INGREDIENTS:

• 1 cup chopped turkey tail mushroom

• 5 cups purified water

• 2.5 teaspoons ground turmeric

• ½ teaspoon local honey

• 1 drop lemon essential oil

DIRECTIONS:

1. Chop the turkey tail mushroom into small pieces, and add to a large pot of water on the stove.

2. Bring the water to a boil, then simmer for an hour.

3. Strain the mixture through a colander. Add a ½ teaspoon of fresh ground turmeric and the honey, and stir.

4. Add the lemon essential oil, and stir again.

5. That’s it — time to drink!

If you’d like to add additional flavor, almond milk; one drop of cinnamon, ginger or lemon essential oil; or stevia are good options.

Feel free to add the rest of your turmeric to your leftovers while it’s still warm since it’s easier to blend, and keep any leftovers in the refrigerator. You can then reheat or serve chilled or on ice.
