Ingredients & Substitutions
Fresh turmeric adds an earthy flavor and vibrant color, but if you can't find it, ground turmeric works just fine. The ginger gives it a nice kick, perfect for digestion, and if you want to make it a bit spicier, feel free to add more ginger! If you prefer a sweeter lemonade, you can use agave or coconut sugar instead of maple syrup.
