To make a turmeric tea, a person can add ground, grated, or powdered turmeric to boiling water.
Turmeric tea can be prepared from either pure turmeric powder or grated or ground, dried turmeric. Fermented turmeric preparations, commonly sold as tea products, claim to have higher concentrations of biologically available or absorbable curcumin.

The steps to follow for making turmeric tea are:
boil 4 cups of water
add 1 to 2 teaspoons of ground, grated, or powdered turmeric
allow the mixture to simmer for approximately 10 minutes
strain the tea into a container and allow it to cool for 5 minutes
Many people put additional ingredients into their turmeric tea to improve the taste or help with its absorption. Common additives include:

Honey, to sweeten the tea and give the mixture more anti-microbial properties.
Whole milk, cream, almond milk, coconut milk, or 1 tablespoon of coconut oil or ghee (unclarified butter) to help with absorption, as curcumin requires healthy fats to dissolve properly.
Black pepper, which contains piperine, a chemical known to help promote curcumin absorption, and that can add a spice flavor to the tea.
Lemon, lime, or ginger, to enhance antioxidant and antimicrobial properties in the mixture and improve taste.
