Notes

Fresh turmeric can stain light-colored tools and surfaces, so rinse them promptly after use. Ground turmeric produces more sediment and a more concentrated earthy flavor than fresh turmeric root. Honey is optional. Nutrition values exclude optional honey and do not include nutrients from the strained ginger and turmeric solids.
