Ingredients & Substitutions
Fresh ginger and turmeric are packed with anti-inflammatory properties, and they really shine in this tonic. If fresh turmeric is hard to find, ground turmeric works just fine. Just remember, it won’t be as vibrant, but the flavor is still there! The cayenne adds a nice kick, but if you're not a fan of spice, feel free to leave it out.
