Ingredients

Scale

Gather these ingredients to make your Turmeric Garlic Broth:

  • 4 cups water or vegetable broth

  • 4–6 cloves garlic, minced

  • 1 tablespoon turmeric powder (or 2 inches fresh turmeric, grated)

  • 1 inch fresh ginger, peeled and grated (optional)

  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper

  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice (optional)

  • 1 tablespoon olive oil or coconut oil (optional)

  • Salt to taste

  • Fresh parsley or cilantro, chopped, for garnish (optional)

Instructions

Prepare the Ingredients:

  1. Mince the Garlic: Peel and mince the garlic cloves.

  2. Grate the Ginger (Optional): Peel and grate the fresh ginger, if using.

  3. Measure the Spices: Measure out the turmeric powder and black pepper.

Simmer the Broth:

  1. Heat the Oil (Optional): In a medium saucepan, heat the olive oil or coconut oil over medium heat. This step is optional but can add richness and flavor to the broth.

  2. Sauté the Garlic: Add the minced garlic to the saucepan and sauté for about 1-2 minutes, or until fragrant. Be careful not to burn the garlic.

  3. Add Spices: Add the turmeric powder (or grated fresh turmeric), grated ginger (if using), and black pepper to the saucepan. Sauté for another minute, stirring constantly, to release their aromas.

  5. Simmer: Reduce the heat to low and simmer for 15-20 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld together.

Finish and Serve:

  1. Strain the Broth (Optional): For a smoother broth, you can strain it through a fine-mesh sieve to remove the garlic and ginger pieces. This step is optional.

  2. Add Lemon Juice (Optional): Stir in the lemon juice, if using.

  3. Season: Season the broth with salt to taste.
