Step 1

Peel the fresh ginger root and dice into thin slices.

Step 2

Combine the fresh ginger slices and water in a large pot or saucepan over high heat on the stove.

Step 3

Bring to a boil. Then turn to low heat and let simmer for approximately 10 minutes.

Step 4

After 10 minutes, add the cinnamon sticks (or ground cinnamon), turmeric and cayenne and simmer on low heat for another 10 minutes, stirring occasionally.

Step 5

Remove from heat, let cool and strain.

Step 6

*This makes about 4-5 cups (some water will steam off while boiling) of a concentrated version of the detox tea which you can store in a glass container in the fridge. You can drink this concentrate warm or cold.

Step 7

When ready to enjoy add the juice of ½ fresh lemon juice to the concentrated mix.

Step 8

I personally like to add ¼ c of this concentrated mixture to 6 oz hot water (with fresh lemon juice).
