Golden tea was the me and my father's escape place. I am not a morning person but my dad is. He always use to wake me up & convince me for a walk or a exercise session. After completing the session with baba, he always made me happy with this "haldi wali chai" and used to sing a special song for me ❤️. That was " Zindagi ek safar hai suhana". That means life is beautiful journey just enjoy it. Listen to the song beautifully sung by the legend Kishor kumar. Now my father is near his 60s and whenever I visit my house he still makes a nice warm cup of Golden tea but now he just doesn't wake me up. Instead he waits for me to wake up and sings this song while I enjoy my tea.
Okay Foodies... That was so overwhelming for me! Whenever I talk about my father I forget where to stop!!! So about the Tea! Yes as name it's a turmeric Tea but with the herbs and spices. The turmeric in this tea is used fresh wet Turmeric. Along with lemon grass, ginger, black pepper, cinnamon, holy Basil leaves. Crush all the spices together and add it in to boiling water. Let it boil coverd on a slow flame for 4-5 minutes. And then turn the flame off. Sieve the tea in a cup & add honey with freshly squeezed lemon. Ready!!! Warm cup of refreshing tea is ready to relax you! You can add sugar as well if you prefer sweet tea. Turmeric powder can also be used if wet Turmeric is not available in your area.
Benifits from turmeric tea are huge. Turmaric and ginger cleans your gut. Ginger is anti-inflammatory & helps to digest food for entire day. Sugar in honey & Lemon has vitamin C gives you instant long lasting energy. And all ingredients together mainly strengthen your body to fight with viral flu or other viral disease. Cinnamon helps loose weight and fight Kapha dosha. Holy Basil reduces anxiety, inflammation, regulat blood sugar levels, also helps to reduce swelling.
