Ingredients You’ll Need
1 cup water
1-inch piece of fresh ginger , peeled and sliced
1 teaspoon turmeric powder
1 cinnamon stick (or ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon)
2–3 mint leaves (optional, for freshness)
1 tablespoon honey (optional, for sweetness)
Juice of ½ lemon
Step-by-Step Instructions
1. Prepare the Base
In a small saucepan, bring 1 cup of water to a boil. Once boiling, reduce the heat to low and add the sliced ginger, turmeric powder, and cinnamon stick. Let the mixture simmer gently for 10–15 minutes , allowing the flavors to infuse fully.
Pro Tip: For stronger benefits, let the mixture steep longer or double the quantities of herbs.
2. Strain and Add Freshness
Remove the saucepan from heat and strain the liquid into a mug to remove any solids. If using mint leaves, tear them slightly and add them to the strained liquid for a refreshing aroma.
3. Sweeten and Finish
Stir in honey if desired for natural sweetness, then add the freshly squeezed lemon juice. Lemon not only enhances the flavor but also boosts the drink’s vitamin C content for added immune support.
