Creamy Turmeric Ginger Tea is the perfect warming tea. It's full of nourishing, immune-boosting ingredients. Enjoy a cup with someone you love.
A while back one of my Facebook readers shared that her favorite warming drink in the morning is this Creamy Turmeric Tea {that she found on Mark's Daily Apple}.
I had been drinking lots of my Honey Sweetened Hot Chocolate in the mornings with a bunch of cinnamon and ginger plus adding grass-fed butter {or ghee} and coconut oil to it.
Now, don't get me wrong, I LOVE love, love my hot chocolate plus it's extra delicious with cinnamon, ginger, butter and coconut oil.
I figured I would check out the recipe my FB reader shared to change up my usual morning warming drink ... especially since everyone is talking about the health benefits of turmeric these days.
Since I wanted to make this drink extra nourishing, I changed it up a bit by adding grass-fed pasture butter + coconut oil*.
I love grass-fed pasture butter for it's omega 3 fatty acids + CLA (conjugated linoleic acid) ... who am I kidding, I love it because it tastes so good and makes me feel good! But, I also love it because it's a nourishing fat and helps the body absorb minerals plus it's a good source of vitamin D, E and K.
Coconut oil is wonderful for so many reasons too ... I love it because it's high in lauric acid {which is also found in amazing liquid gold a.k.a breastmilk} plus it's known for having immune-boosting properties, being naturally anti-viral, anti-bacterial and anti-fungal.
For all of my nursing mommy readers - coconut oil is known for being a great healthy fat for you and your baby as it's known to help increase your lauric acid and can potentially boost milk supply!
And of course, I couldn't make this drink without cinnamon! I LOVE cinnamon and it's warming properties, so I decided to add some. Why not? If you don't like cinnamon, just leave it out.

Creamy Turmeric Ginger Tea
This warming drink is full of nourishing, immune-boosting ingredients. Enjoy a cup with someone you love.
Ingredients
- 1 cup raw milk, full-fat coconut milk or almond milk
- 1 cup coconut water {<-- this is the only kind I use} or filtered water
- 2 teaspoons ground ginger
- 1 teaspoon ground turmeric
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/16 teaspoon black pepper or cayenne pepper
- 1 teaspoon real vanilla extract
- 1 tablespoon local raw honey or Manuka honey
- 1-2 tablespoons grass-fed butter or ghee
- 1-2 tablespoons coconut oil {optional}
- 2 tablespoons hydrolyzed grass-fed collagen (<-- this is the only grass-fed collagen I use and recommend) - optional, but highly recommended
Instructions
- Place all ingredients into a medium-size sauce pan. Slowly warm over medium-low heat for about 5-7 minutes {heat to your desired temperature}. If you are using coconut milk, make sure you do not boil it, it tends to become thick and unpalatable when boiled. If you're using raw milk, you'll want to heat over a lower heat so you do not destroy the beneficial properties.
- If you are adding butter or coconut oil: Place tea into blender and blend for about 10-12 seconds, until the fats are fully incorporated and emulsified. [Note: Use CAUTION when using the blender, the tea/liquid is very hot and increases in volume when blending. Make sure to hold the lid on tight while blending or the hot air and liquid can escape making the lid pop off the blender.]
- Serve hot. Enjoy immediately.

I'm pretty wimpy with spicy stuff but this does look pretty tasty!
Emily Sunwell-Vidaurri
That made me smile. I am too, my husband is Latino and LOVES a lot of spice/heat. Me, not so much. But I can handle the ginger in this. It's pretty mild.
Loriel @ Naturally Loriel
This sounds great! I've never had anything like this before but the ingredients look delicious!

I really need to try this. I occasionally make myself a turmeric tea with coconut milk, and really like it. I love ginger and the other spices, too, though, so I'm sure I would love your recipe more!
Emily Sunwell-Vidaurri
It's so delicious with the ginger, I think you'll enjoy it.
Kim
I will have to try this. Honestly, I tried the one you linked from Mark's Daily Apple, and I gagged it down. Yours seems so much better. Turmeric is so healthy, I'd really like to love it...you know? 😉
Emily Sunwell-Vidaurri
I know what you mean, I don't care for the taste of turmeric alone ... I have to add lots of other flavor to counter the bitterness of it.
Anni
That looks REALLY nice right now. (Dare I admit I have a cough and cold at the moment?)
Emily Sunwell-Vidaurri
Feel better soon!

I live in Hawaii where we can get fresh ‘olena - turmeric. I need to get some planted so I can make a fresh version of this tea!
Emily Sunwell-Vidaurri
That's so awesome! What a beautiful place to live too.
Sharon
The turmeric version of bulletproof coffee! Love it!
Emily Sunwell-Vidaurri
Yes 🙂 I am not a coffee drinker, so this is a yummy way for those add-ins.
Renee Kohley
I definitely think I could enjoy turmeric this way!
Emily Sunwell-Vidaurri
