Ingredients & Substitutions
Fresh ginger and turmeric are key here for that vibrant flavor and healing properties. If you can’t find fresh turmeric, you can use ground turmeric as a substitute, but I really recommend the fresh stuff for the best taste. And if you want to kick up the spice, you can always add more cayenne or even a pinch of cinnamon!

In a medium saucepan, combine the grated ginger, turmeric, cayenne pepper, and filtered water.

Bring the mixture to a gentle boil over medium heat, then reduce to low and let it simmer for about 10 minutes.

After simmering, remove the pan from heat and let it steep for an additional 5 minutes.

Strain the elixir through a fine mesh sieve into a large bowl or pitcher to remove the solids.

Stir in the fresh lemon juice, maple syrup (if using), black pepper, and coconut milk if you want a creamy touch.

Taste and adjust sweetness or spice as needed. Sometimes I add a little more lemon juice for zing!
