Since the health benefits of turmeric are widely known, turmeric root is available in most grocery stores worldwide.
It is also available in other forms like capsules, tincture, fluid extracts and tea. Turmeric tea offers various health benefits. It could be great to soothe a sore throat, runny nose or relieve stress after a hard day’s work.
Here are the simple steps to make Turmeric Tea:

2. Add 1 teaspoon turmeric.
3. Reduce the heat and let it simmer for at least 10 minutes.
