Turmeric ginger tea is made by steeping ginger root and fresh turmeric root in hot water. Ginger (Zingiber officinale) and turmeric (Curcuma longa) are widely used individually for their nutritional and medicinal effects. These two powerful herbs are also widely available and have been heavily researched on due to their global popularity. Turmeric tea is a ritual in Okinawa, Japan where there is a high prevalence of centenarians, confirming that this golden yellow beverage is a health elixir.
