1 organic apple (preferably sweet, such as Golden or Gala), quartered with the skin on
1 tsp turmeric powder (or 2 cm of freshly grated root)
1 small piece of fresh ginger (approx. 2 cm), peeled and grated
1 sprig of fresh rosemary (or 1 tsp dried rosemary)
1 pinch of black pepper (optional but recommended for curcumin)
500 ml filtered water
1 tsp honey (optional, at the end of preparation)
Preparation
In a saucepan, bring the water to a boil.
Add the apple wedges, turmeric, ginger, and rosemary.
Reduce the heat and simmer gently for 10 to 12 minutes. Add a pinch of black pepper just before turning off the heat to boost turmeric absorption.
Let it steep for 5 minutes off the heat, then strain.
Serve piping hot, with a spoonful of honey if desired.
