Ingredients
The following ingredients have 4 Servings
- 1 large lemon ((rinsed))
- 1 (2-inch) piece fresh ginger ((rinsed, peeling optional))
- 1 dash ground turmeric
- 1 pinch fresh black pepper ((optional))
- 1 pinch cayenne pepper ((optional))
- 2 cups boiling water
Instruction
- Bring a kettle of water to a boil (you'll need about 2 cups total (480 ml)).
- Slice lemon in half and juice each half into a serving mug (each mug gets half of the lemon). Be sure to place the juiced lemon halves in the mugs as well to infuse more flavor (see photo).
- Add sliced ginger and a dash of ground turmeric. Black pepper and cayenne are optional but bring more balance and heat. Black pepper also increases the bioavailability of turmeric.
- Top with boiling water and wait a few minutes for the flavors to infuse. Enjoy. Best when fresh. Can be enjoyed up to 24 hours later if stored in the refrigerator and reheated. Not freezer friendly.
