- small saucepan
- Whisk or spoon
- Mugs for serving
Ingredients
- 1 cup water
- 1/2 teaspoon ground turmeric
- 1/4 teaspoon ground ginger
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice (freshly squeezed)
- 1 teaspoon honey (adjust to taste)
Instructions
Step 1: Blend Spices and Water
Combine the water, turmeric, and ginger in a small saucepan. Bring the mixture to a simmer over medium heat, whisking constantly for about 2 minutes to ensure the spices dissolve thoroughly.
Step 2: Simmer and Strain (Optional)
Reduce the heat to low and let the tonic simmer gently for 2-3 minutes. For a smoother texture, you can strain the mixture through a fine mesh sieve to remove any turmeric sediment. This step is optional.
Step 3: Add Lemon and Honey
Remove the saucepan from the heat and stir in the lemon juice and honey until well dissolved. Taste the tonic and adjust the honey sweetness according to your preference.
Step 4: Serve and Enjoy
Pour the warm turmeric tonic into a mug and enjoy immediately. For an extra boost, garnish with a thinly sliced ginger piece or a sprig of fresh mint.
Notes / Tips
Feel free to add a pinch of black pepper to enhance the absorption of turmeric’s beneficial compounds.
Store leftover tonic in a sealed container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat gently before serving.
