1-2 teaspoons of maple syrup (if required)
1 pinch black pepper
3 cups of filtered water
Method:
Bring all ingredients (including the lemon rind) in a small saucepan to boil, and let simmer for approximately 3 minutes. Using a strainer to remove excess pith and rind, pour into two cups and let cool. Sweeten to taste, or add more water to dilute, and enjoy - the goodness and the flavours!
FACTS:
Turmeric contains a compound called curcumin, which boasts amazing antioxidant and anti-inflammatory effects. Ginger is a natural anti-inflammatory and antioxidant that has been known to aid digestion and relieve nausea. Lemon is naturally detoxifying and alkalising in the body, aids in healthy bowel movements, and boasts plenty of Vitamin C, which boosts the immune system. Black pepper aids with the bioavailability of the turmeric as well as being high in antioxidants and anti-inflammatory properties.
