Ingredients & Substitutions
Fresh turmeric and ginger are key here; they have the most flavor and health benefits. If you can't find fresh turmeric, you can use powdered turmeric, but the flavor won't be quite the same. The black pepper is crucial for helping your body absorb the turmeric's benefits, so don't skip it!
Tips & Notes
- •I like to keep a batch of this tonic in the fridge for easy access when I need a little boost.
- •If you want to elevate it, try adding a splash of coconut milk for creaminess!
Recipe Variations
- •Sometimes, I’ll add a few fresh mint leaves for a refreshing twist.
- •If I'm feeling adventurous, I’ll toss in a pinch of cinnamon for extra warmth.
Storage & Freezing
Store any leftovers in a glass jar in the fridge. It’s best enjoyed fresh, but it’ll keep well for a few days. Just remember to shake it up before you pour!

Start by peeling and grating the turmeric and ginger roots. I find using a microplane grater works best for this.

In a medium saucepan, bring the 4 cups of water to a gentle boil.

Once boiling, add the grated turmeric and ginger to the water. Let it simmer for about 10 minutes. This is where the magic happens!

After 10 minutes, strain the mixture into a large bowl or pitcher to remove the solids.
- 5
Stir in the freshly squeezed lemon juice, maple syrup (if using), black pepper, and cayenne pepper.

Taste and adjust sweetness or spice as needed. I usually like mine a bit spicy!

Pour into mugs, and enjoy it warm. You can also chill it in the fridge for a refreshing iced version!
