1 pinch black pepper
2 cups water or milk (dairy or plant-based)
1 tablespoon lemon juice
1 tablespoon honey or maple syrup
Optional: 3 slices fresh ginger
Instructions
1. In a small saucepan over medium heat, combine water or milk, turmeric, black pepper, and optional ginger.
2. Simmer the mixture gently for 5–7 minutes, stirring occasionally to allow the flavors to infuse.
3. Strain the mixture into a mug using a fine mesh strainer to remove any solids.
4. Stir in lemon juice and honey or maple syrup to taste.
5. Serve hot. Garnish with a lemon slice or sprinkle cinnamon if desired.
Notes
Stir well before each sip as turmeric naturally settles at the bottom.
Use non-dairy milk like coconut or almond for a creamy variation.
Adjust lemon or sweetener to taste depending on your preference.
