Ingredients For Healing Turmeric Tonic Recipe

  • 2 cups water

  • 1 tsp ground turmeric (or 1-inch fresh turmeric root, grated)

  • ½ tsp ground ginger (or 1-inch fresh ginger, grated)

  • Juice of ½ lemon (freshly squeezed)

  • 1 tbsp raw honey (or to taste)

  • A pinch of black pepper (enhances absorption of turmeric)

Instructions

  1. In a small pot, bring 2 cups of water to a gentle boil.

  2. Add turmeric, ginger, and black pepper.

  3. Reduce heat and simmer for 5–7 minutes to let the flavors infuse.

  4. Remove from heat, strain into a mug if using fresh roots.

  5. Stir in lemon juice and honey (add honey after cooling slightly to preserve nutrients).

  6. Sip warm and enjoy the golden glow! ✨

Notes

Tips
