  • Ingredients
  • 2 cups hot water
  • 1 tsp turmeric powder
  • 1 tbs grated fresh ginger root
  • 1 whole cinnamon stick
  • 1 tbs lemon juice
  • 1 tsp honey

Instructions

  • Add water, turmeric powder, ginger and cinnamon to a pan.

  • Strain through a fine-mesh strainer to remove the spices

Notes

  • Use any sweetener of your choice, but my go-to is always honey because of its medicinal properties. Maple syrup is another good choice 
  • Adjust the amount of honey/sweetener used to your taste preferences
  • You can use ground turmeric powder or fresh turmeric root. Make sure it's grated like the ginger root. 
  • You can also substitute a teaspoon of ground cinnamon for the whole cinnamon stick - however, I find that the whole cinnamon stick adds a more unique flavor
  • Use fresh lemon juice for the best flavor as well as gain the most benefits 
  • Use raw honey for best results and make sure to add it to the mixture after it has slightly cooled off. 
  • Add in black pepper for extra throat-soothing properties
