Pescatarian Turmeric Ginger Tea
Warm, golden, and deeply aromatic, this simmered tea is the kind of drink that feels like a reset button in a mug. Fresh turmeric and ginger are simmered low and slow with a Ceylon cinnamon stick until the water turns a rich, jewel-toned amber and your whole kitchen smells incredible. A squeeze of lemon and a touch of honey round out the flavor with just the right balance of brightness and sweetness. Because every ingredient here is a whole, plant-based food, this is naturally a great fit for anyone eating a pescatarian lifestyle — no label-reading required. Ceylon cinnamon is worth seeking out specifically, as it has a softer, more complex flavor than the cassia variety you'll find at most grocery stores. This is the kind of recipe you'll find yourself coming back to on cold mornings, after a heavy meal, or any time you want something soothing that actually tastes as good as it sounds.
