Spiced Persimmon Turmeric Tea

Ingredients:

• 8 cups filtered water
• 1 piece peeled and thinly sliced fresh ginger (3 inches)
• 1 piece peeled and thinly sliced fresh turmeric root (3 inches)

• Stevia to taste (optional)

Directions:

1. Place the water, ginger, turmeric, peppercorns, cinnamon sticks and persimmon slices in a large saucepan and bring to a boil. Lower heat, and simmer on low for 20 to 30 minutes.
2. Strain tea through a fine mesh strainer (or pour through a coffee filter to catch sediment).
3. Pour into cups or bowls. The softened persimmons may also be added or add a few fresh slices for garnish and serve adding preferred sweetener to taste.
4. Alternatively you can cool the tea to room temperature and refrigerate for a couple of days and reheat as desired.
