Equipment

  • Mug or heat-proof glass
  • Spoon
  • Grater (if using fresh ginger/turmeric)
  • Optional: Fine-mesh sieve

Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup warm water or cold, if you prefer
  • 1 inch fresh ginger: Peeled and grated or finely minced
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground turmeric or 1 inch fresh turmeric, grated
  • Pinch of cayenne pepper about 1/16th of a teaspoon
  • Juice of 1/2 lemon
  • Pinch of Himalayan pink salt About 1/8 to 1/4 teaspoon
  • Optional: 1 teaspoon raw honey or maple syrup
  • Optional: Pinch of black pepper just a speck!
  • Optional: 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar ACV

Instructions
 

  • Prep your ingredients: Start by grating your ginger and turmeric (if using fresh). Juice your lemon.
  • Combine in a mug: Add the grated ginger, turmeric (ground or fresh), cayenne pepper, lemon juice, and Himalayan pink salt to your favorite mug.
  • Add water and stir: Pour the warm (or cold) water over the ingredients.
  • Stir thoroughly: Mix well until the salt and powders are dissolved.
  • Strain (optional): If you really don't like the bits of ginger and turmeric floating around, you can strain the tonic through a fine-mesh sieve before drinking.
  • Sweeten (optional): If you're using honey or maple syrup, stir it in until dissolved.
  • Sip and enjoy: Drink it warm right away, or let it cool and add ice for a refreshing cold tonic.
  • Notes:
  • Adjust ginger, lemon, salt, and cayenne pepper to personal taste, starting cayenne small. Add a tiny pinch of black pepper to enhance turmeric absorption. This tonic is best enjoyed fresh, but pre-grated ginger/turmeric can be stored in the fridge for 3-4 days. Consistency is key for benefits; this drink supports the body's natural processes rather than being a harsh detox. Consult a healthcare provider for existing health conditions or medications.
