Ingredients
- 2 cups water
- 1-inch piece fresh turmeric, grated (or 1 teaspoon ground turmeric)
- 1-inch piece fresh ginger, grated
- ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
- A pinch of black pepper
- 1 tablespoon honey (optional)
- 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
Instructions
- Bring the water to a gentle boil.
- Add the turmeric, ginger, and cinnamon.
- Reduce the heat and simmer for 10 minutes.
- Remove from the heat and strain into a mug.
- Stir in the black pepper, lemon juice, and honey (if using).
- Serve warm.
Tips
- Drink 1 cup daily if desired.
- Black pepper helps your body absorb curcumin, the active compound in turmeric.
- If you have gallbladder disease, take blood thinners, or are pregnant, check with your healthcare provider before consuming large amounts of turmeric or ginger.
Note: This drink may help reduce inflammation and support relief from mild muscle or joint discomfort, but it is not a substitute for morphine or other prescribed pain medications, and there is no evidence that it “removes” rheumatic pain.
