Made by boiling ginger and turmeric in water, then finishing with lemon juice and black pepper, this tonic needs no sweetener and is a low-carbohydrate, heart-friendly drink. Freeze it in ice cube trays and add a cube to hot water whenever you like.
Bring the water to the boil. Add the grated ginger and turmeric and leave to infuse over low heat.
Strain the mixture to remove the ginger and turmeric particles.
Stir in the lemon juice and a pinch of black pepper. Black pepper increases the body’s absorption of turmeric.
Use a fine sieve to strain the tonic; otherwise, turmeric particles may remain and make the drink gritty. Let it cool slightly before adding the black pepper, or its pungency will be too pronounced.
