1 teaspoon grated fresh ginger
1/2 teaspoon turmeric powder
A pinch of black pepper
Preparation
Boil the water and pour it into a mug.
Add the grated ginger and turmeric powder to the hot water and let it steep for about 5 minutes to release their beneficial compounds.
Stir in the lemon juice and raw honey until fully dissolved.
Add a pinch of black pepper to enhance the absorption of turmeric’s active ingredient, curcumin.
Mix well and allow the drink to cool slightly until it’s comfortably warm before sipping.
Serving and Storage Tips
For best results, drink this brew 1-2 times daily, especially in the morning and before bedtime.
Consume it fresh, as the active compounds are most potent right after preparation.
If you have leftovers, store them in a sealed container in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours and reheat gently before drinking. Avoid boiling to preserve nutrients.
