Description

Simple turmeric drink with lemon, cinnamon, and black pepper for digestion and weight support.


Ingredients

  • 1 cup warm filtered water (not boiling, around 120°F)
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground turmeric (or 1 teaspoon freshly grated turmeric root)
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/8 teaspoon ground ginger (or 1/4 teaspoon fresh grated ginger)
  • 1 pinch black pepper (boosts curcumin absorption)
  • Juice from 1/2 lemon
  • 1 teaspoon raw honey or monk fruit (optional)
  • 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar (optional, for digestion)

Instructions

  1. Warm the Water: Gently heat the water without boiling to preserve nutrients.
  2. Mix Spices: Add turmeric, ginger, cinnamon, and black pepper. Stir or whisk until blended.
  3. Add Lemon and Sweetener: Mix in lemon juice and honey or monk fruit and stir again.
  4. Optional Vinegar: Add apple cider vinegar last if using to preserve its enzymes.
  5. Serve: Sip slowly while warm, stirring occasionally to avoid spice settling.

Notes

  • Use coconut oil if avoiding black pepper for absorption.
  • Adjust sweetener to taste or omit for fasting periods.
  • Not recommended on an empty stomach for those with acid sensitivity.
