A 5-minute, 3-ingredient, 1-pot healing tea tonic with ginger, lemon, turmeric, and cayenne. The perfect way to detox the body, recover from a cold, or relax before bed.
HEALING 3-INGREDIENT TURMERIC TONIC
Ingredients
- 1 Tbsp fresh grated turmeric (packed // or 1/2 tsp ground, though fresh is best)
- 1 Tbsp fresh grated ginger (packed // or 1/2 tsp ground, though fresh is best)
- 1 whole lemon (juiced // ~3 Tbsp or 45 ml juice as original recipe is written // plus leftover rind)
- 1-2 tsp maple syrup (optional // can sub stevia or raw honey if not vegan)
- 1 pinch cayenne pepper (optional // or cracked black pepper which many readers have commented helps with the bioavailability of the turmeric!)
- 3 cups filtered water
Instructions
- To a small saucepan, add turmeric, ginger, lemon juice and leftover lemon rind, maple syrup (optional), cayenne (optional), and filtered water. I personally didn't think it needed any sweetener, but sweeten to taste.
- Bring to a simmer (not a boil) over medium to medium-high heat (~3 minutes). Then turn off heat.
- Set a small strainer over serving glasses and divide between two mugs. Enjoy. If the tonic is too potent for you, dilute with more hot/warm water.
- Store (strained) leftovers in the refrigerator up to 2-3 days. Reheat on the stovetop until just warm.
