For a Serving Size of Two:

Ingredients:

250 ml water
1 tsp turmeric powder (or fresh turmeric root, grated)
1/2 tsp fresh ginger
1/2 tsp cinnamon powder
1/4 tsp black pepper
1 tbsp lemon juice
1 tsp honey
A pinch of cayenne pepper

Procedure:

Heat 250 ml of water in a saucepan.

Enjoy your tonic warm for maximum benefits.

Nutritional Benefits:

This tonic is packed with anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties, largely thanks to turmeric and ginger.
Curcumin, the active compound in turmeric, is known to support joint health, boost immunity, and aid in digestion.
Black pepper enhances the absorption of curcumin, making this blend even more powerful.
Cinnamon helps regulate blood sugar levels, while the cayenne pepper may stimulate metabolism. Together, these ingredients create a potent health tonic that aids in digestion, promotes immunity, and helps reduce inflammation.
