Ingredients:
1 cup fresh ginger (peeled and sliced)
2 tablespoons honey (preferably raw and organic)
1 lemon (juiced and zested)
3 cups water (filtered or spring water)
2 sprigs fresh rosemary
1 tablespoon turmeric powder
Pinch of sea salt
1 cinnamon stick (optional, for added warmth)
A handful of fresh mint leaves (for garnish)
1 teaspoon apple cider vinegar (optional, for an extra boost)
Directions:
Prepare the ingredients: Begin by washing and peeling the ginger root. Slice it thinly to release its full flavor and natural compounds. Zest and juice the lemon, set it aside. If you’re using fresh rosemary, gently bruise the sprigs to release the essential oils.
Boil the base: In a medium-sized saucepan, add the ginger slices, rosemary, turmeric powder, and cinnamon stick. Pour in the water and bring it to a gentle boil over medium heat.
Simmer the brew: Once it reaches a boil, reduce the heat and let it simmer for about 15-20 minutes. This will allow the flavors and healing properties to infuse into the water, creating a rich, aromatic base.
Sweeten and balance: After simmering, strain the mixture into a heatproof pitcher or large bowl, discarding the solid pieces. Stir in the lemon juice, zest, honey, and apple cider vinegar (if using). Taste and adjust the sweetness or acidity by adding more honey or lemon to suit your preference.
Serve and enjoy: Pour the soothing liquid into your favorite mug or cup. Garnish with a sprig of mint for a fresh aroma and an added layer of flavor.
Presentation and Storage Tips:
Presentation: Serve this drink in a beautiful, rustic mug to evoke feelings of warmth and comfort. A sprig of fresh rosemary or mint can be added for a touch of nature’s beauty.
Storage: If you have leftovers, store them in a sealed container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. You can reheat the mixture gently over low heat when ready to enjoy again. Alternatively, pour it into ice cube trays for an ice-cold, soothing treat during warm weather.
