Anti Inflammatory Tea is a healing tea recipe with turmeric, ginger, apple cider vinegar and honey. It tastes pretty amazing.
Table of Contents
Some time last month, I got bored with all my drinks, pulled out a French press and started adding everything I had on hand to make a decaf tea.
Last thing I added was turmeric, and apparently I came up with delicious anti inflammatory tea that is super popular these days. Which, by the way, didn’t cost an arm and a leg.
Ingredients for Anti Inflammatory Tea
Turmeric: Bright yellow root from India you can buy it fresh at a health food store or in a powder form. Turmeric contains chemical compound curcumin that acts as anti-inflammatory, pain killer and cholesterol regulator. As per this source, turmeric also has been shown to kill cancer cells, help manage depression and prevent arthritis.
Ginger: Added to tea it will help you reduce nausea. As per Healthline, ginger, like turmeric (they both come from the same family along with cardamom), has high anti-inflammatory as well as antioxidant and immune boosting properties.
Honey: I added a few tablespoons of raw honey to make turmeric tea taste good. I buy local raw honey instead of store-bought pasteurized one because its nutrients and vitamins haven’t been killed during heating pasteurization process.
Apple Cider Vinegar: As per Healthline, kills bacteria, lowers blood sugar and cholesterol, and aids with weight loss.
Orange: Optional but it adds nice flavour, more sweetness and vitamin C.
Now, that I have written out all health benefits of this anti-inflammatory tea above, I thought to myself “Wow, what a super drink!”.

This tea is delicious. me kids said it smells like feet but no matte. I’m hoping to will help me sleep through the night with less pain.
I am glad you like it at least!
I love this tea! Avid coffee drinker for many years and have always disliked tea but this one is a winner!
Thank you for sharing ♥️
Glad you like it Kym. It’s so good for you.
I add black pepper in mine to enjoy the most benefits of the turmeric. 🙂
do you have the link to the French press? I’d like to get one, but when I click on it, it keeps saying uh oh something went wrong
This one is very similar.
Such a silly question but…. do you strain the ginger bits out? I’ve wondered if by steeping you get the benefits or if it can be strained.
No, I don’t. I use a french press so the ginger bits get pressed down to the bottom and don’t end up in my cup!
This tastes really good and has so many benefits for the body. I’m sold! I will definitely be making this regularly.
So happy to hear this Taf!
This is FANTASTIC! I use lemon or orange and both are AMAZING. thank you!

Awe, you are so welcome! So happy to hear you are enjoying my recipes, Lisa!
Namaste, I suffer from Sjogrens and Fibromyalgia and this tea has helped me tremendously.
You are very welcome Tara!
I love this tea! Sometimes I add lemon juice in place of ACV or cinnamon. I make 3 days worth at a time with half the water and store in a glass jug in the fridge. In the morning I add hot water and enjoy! I even love eating the orange slices that I cut into 6ths when adding!?
I’m so glad you enjoyed it, Lori! Thank you for the wonderful review!
What a great recipe, even if you aren’t concerned about your health and just want something that tastes better than a tea bag! (not me, just making a point). Also who cares if boiling water breaks down some of honey’s nutrients, have they never heard of honey lemon tea or….? haha. Great recipe Olena, keep em’ coming!
Yes, I agree. Sometimes you just want smth different and to relax. 🙂 Glad you enjoyed the tea, Chels. 🙂
