Method
Preparation
Prepare the Ingredients
Peel the ginger and turmeric roots using a vegetable peeler. Chop them into small pieces.
Combine the Ingredients
In a large saucepan, add the chopped ginger, chopped turmeric, black pepper, and water. Bring to a boil over medium heat.
Infusion
Simmer the Mixture
Once boiling, reduce the heat and let it simmer for about 20 minutes. This will extract the flavors and nutrients from the roots.
Strain the Liquid
After 20 minutes, remove the saucepan from the heat. Use a fine mesh strainer or cheesecloth to strain the liquid into a large bowl or pitcher.
Final Touches
Add Lemon Juice and Honey
While the liquid is still warm, stir in the lemon juice and raw honey until fully dissolved.
Optional Add-ins
If desired, add cayenne pepper and cinnamon powder to the mixture and stir well.
Cool and Serve
Let the tonic cool to room temperature. Store in the refrigerator and serve chilled or at room temperature.
