Mixing Up a Turmeric Tea

It’s time for a Mocktail, so kick back and relax and mix up yourself something that Karen’s been drinking!

From our pal Karen:

It’s Mocktail Monday and I have made a Turmeric Tea that can be enjoyed warm or cold. Served warm it also helps soothe winter colds and sore throats. I used Turmeric for it’s beautiful bold electric colour and it is native to India. I was inspired by @mix.man who has been running a Diwali series with the history and fabulous Diwali inspired Cocktails. Diwali is a large event celebrated by Indian’s worldwide and is also know as the Festival of Lights. Check @mix.mann page for the full history and his many fabulous cocktails.#DiwaliDrinks #Diwali
