Ginger Turmeric Health Drink Recipe

Ingredients:

• 1 cup water
• 1 cup milk (or a dairy-free alternative)
• 1 tablespoon fresh ginger, grated
• 1/2 teaspoon ground turmeric
• 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 1 tablespoon honey or maple syrup (optional, for sweetness)
• A pinch of black pepper (to enhance the absorption of turmeric)
• A pinch of cayenne pepper (optional, for a bit of heat)

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Ingredients:
   • Grate the fresh ginger and gather all the spices (turmeric, cinnamon, black pepper, and cayenne pepper if using).
2. Heat the Water and Milk:
   • In a small saucepan, combine the water and milk. Heat over medium heat until it begins to steam, but do not let it boil.
3. Add the Spices:
   • Add the grated ginger, ground turmeric, ground cinnamon, and a pinch of black pepper to the saucepan. If using, add a pinch of cayenne pepper as well.
4. Simmer:
   • Reduce the heat to low and let the mixture simmer for about 5-10 minutes, stirring occasionally to ensure all the spices are well mixed.
5. Sweeten (Optional):
   • If you prefer a sweeter drink, add honey or maple syrup to taste. Stir until fully dissolved.
6. Strain and Serve:
   • Using a fine mesh strainer, strain the mixture into a mug to remove the ginger pieces and any undissolved spices.
   • Serve warm and enjoy!
