Ingredients & Substitutions
Fresh turmeric can be a bit tricky to find, but it’s worth the hunt! If you can’t find it, you can use 1 teaspoon of ground turmeric instead. The same goes for ginger—fresh is best, but powdered works in a pinch. Just remember, fresh has a much brighter flavor.

Ingredients
Instructions
- 1
Start by peeling and grating the fresh turmeric and ginger. I love using a microplane for this—it makes the job super easy and keeps all those lovely juices.

In a saucepan, combine the grated turmeric, ginger, water, cinnamon powder, and black pepper. Bring it to a gentle boil over medium heat.
- 3
Once it’s boiling, reduce the heat and let it simmer for about 5-7 minutes. This helps the flavors meld beautifully.

After simmering, remove the saucepan from the heat and strain the mixture into mugs using a fine mesh sieve or cheesecloth.
- 5
Stir in the maple syrup and lemon juice. Taste it—if you like it sweeter, feel free to add more maple syrup.
- 6
Enjoy warm! You can also chill it if you prefer a refreshing iced tonic.
