Print Recipe

A bright, zingy, and soothing morning tonic combining fresh lemon, ginger, and turmeric with a touch of raw honey and spices to gently wake up your body and support detoxification.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 medium fresh lemons, juiced (about 1/3 cup or 80 ml lemon juice)
  • 1 to 2 inches fresh ginger root, peeled and finely grated
  • 1 inch fresh turmeric root, peeled and finely grated
  • 1 to 2 teaspoons raw honey (to taste)
  • 2 cups (475 ml) filtered water
  • Pinch of black pepper
  • Optional: tiny pinch of cayenne pepper

Instructions

  1. Peel about 1 to 2 inches of ginger root and 1 inch of turmeric root carefully. Use a microplane or fine grater to finely grate both roots (about 5 minutes).
  2. Roll the lemons under your palm to loosen juice, cut in half, and juice about 2 medium lemons to yield roughly 1/3 cup (80 ml) of fresh lemon juice. Remove any seeds (about 2 minutes).
  3. In a jar or bowl, combine the grated ginger and turmeric with the lemon juice. Add 2 cups (475 ml) of filtered water and stir well to blend.
  4. Stir in 1 to 2 teaspoons of raw honey, adjusting to taste. Sprinkle a pinch of black pepper and, if desired, a tiny pinch of cayenne pepper. Mix thoroughly until honey dissolves.
  5. Allow the tonic to sit for 5 to 10 minutes so flavors meld and grated bits soften. If preferred, strain through a fine mesh strainer to remove solids.
  6. Pour into a glass and enjoy immediately, ideally on an empty stomach for best detox benefits. Stir gently before each sip as ingredients settle.

Notes

Use gloves when peeling and grating turmeric to avoid staining. Let the tonic rest for 5-10 minutes to meld flavors and soften grated bits. Stir before drinking as ingredients settle. Can be stored in the fridge up to 3 days; tastes better chilled. Substitute honey with maple syrup or agave nectar for a vegan option. Fresh turmeric preferred for best flavor; turmeric powder can be used as a substitute (1/2 teaspoon).
