COCONUT GINGER TEA WITH LIME, HONEY AND TURMERIC
I love the fair trade teas produced by Zhena's Gypsy Tea, especially her Coconut Chai. Inspired by the perfume of coconut in that tea, I infused shredded coconut and ginger and added a little fresh lime juice, honey and a smidgeon of turmeric. The idea of making a turmeric and honey paste comes from Heidi Swanson's 101cookbooks.com.

Steps:
- Place the coconut and ginger in a large pyrex measuring cup or teapot and pour on the boiling water. Cover and allow to steep for 30 minutes or longer. Strain into another measuring cup, a bowl or a teapot and press the coconut against the strainer to extract all the flavorful liquid.
- Reheat the infusion and pour into cups. Stir 1/2 to 1 teaspoon lime juice and 1 to 1 1/2 teaspoons honey or honey-turmeric paste into each cup.
