Turmeric tea can take a variety of forms. In most cases, turmeric is finely chopped and added to loose leaf herbal or caffeinated teas. Turmeric may also be ground and added to powdered tea mixes. You can even make your own turmeric tea at home by simmering turmeric and other spices, and adding tea leaves, milk, and honey to taste.
