Easy Golden Turmeric Tea Recipe: A Warm and Comforting Drink

Why Add a Pinch of Black Pepper?

A small amount of black pepper is traditionally paired with turmeric because a compound in black pepper called piperine can increase the absorption of curcumin, one of the main compounds found in turmeric.

You only need a tiny pinch. Too much pepper can overpower the warm, slightly sweet flavor of the drink.

Easy Variations
