1 To prepare the turmeric, slice it into thin rounds (no wider than ¼-inch). Combine the sliced turmeric and water in a saucepan over high heat.
2 Bring the mixture to a simmer, then reduce the heat as necessary to maintain a gentle simmer for 5 minutes.
3 Remove the pot from the heat. Carefully pour the mixture through a mesh sieve into a heat-safe liquid measuring cup, or directly into a mug.
4 If desired, serve with a lemon or orange round and/or a light drizzle of honey or maple syrup, to taste. Serve hot.
