Ingredients
Directions
Steep the tea: Add the water, ginger, turmeric, and peppercorns to a medium stovetop pot. Heat on medium-high until boiling then lower the heat to simmer for 20 minutes.
Once finished, strain the tea into a pitcher or 32-ounce mason jar.
Add the lemon and pineapple juices and stir. If you’re using a jar with a lid, tighten the lid and shake well.
Taste for additional sweetness (pineapple juice) or tartness (lemon juice) depending on your preference.
Enjoy it at room temperature or pour over ice. Garnish with fresh mint leaves and pineapple chunks (on skewers if you’d like to get fancy!) if desired.
Chef's Notes
Substitutions
Use organic apple juice, mango juice, or orange juice in place of pineapple juice.
Instead of fresh turmeric, mix 1 teaspoon of ground turmeric into the lemonade pineapple mixture.
Instead of fresh ginger, mix 1 teaspoon of ground ginger into the lemonade pineapple mixture.
Add other flavors
Steep hibiscus along with the ginger, turmeric, and peppercorns for deep color, more nutrition, and a tart berry flavor.
Muddle berries into the juice.
Make it a green tea by steeping green tea with ginger and turmeric.
Make it spicy by adding a dash of cayenne pepper.
Rather than garnish, steep the mint with the ginger and turmeric.
Make it a spritzer
Add 8 ounces of carbonated water to 8 ounces of the lemonade.
