Here’s a refreshing and flavorful mocktail recipe using turmeric ginger tea, pineapple juice, orange juice, and black pepper. This combination will give you a sweet, spicy, and slightly tangy drink with all the health benefits of turmeric and ginger.
Turmeric Ginger Citrus Infused Mocktail
Ingredients:
• 2 turmeric ginger tea bags
• 1/2 cup pineapple juice
• 1/2 cup orange juice
• A pinch of black pepper (freshly ground)
• Ice cubes
• Fresh mint or a citrus slice (optional, for garnish)
Instructions:
1. Steep the tea in juice:
In a small saucepan or heatproof jar, combine the pineapple juice and orange juice. Warm the juice mixture over low heat until it’s just hot (but not boiling). Remove from heat and add the turmeric ginger tea bags. Let them steep for 5-7 minutes, depending on how strong you want the flavor.
2. Remove the tea bags:
After steeping, remove the tea bags and discard them. Let the infused juice cool down to room temperature, or chill it in the fridge for faster cooling.
3. Add black pepper:
Once the juice has cooled, stir in a pinch of freshly ground black pepper. This will help enhance the bioavailability of the turmeric.
4. Serve:
Fill a glass with ice cubes, and pour the infused juice mixture over the ice.
5. Garnish (optional):
Garnish with fresh mint or a slice of orange or pineapple for extra flair.
