Ingredients

  • 1 cup boiling water

  • 1 (1-inch piece) fresh turmeric, peeled and thinly sliced (or ¼ teaspoon ground)

  • 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice

  • 1 tablespoon pure maple syrup

  • 1 tablespoon apple-cider vinegar

Directions

Cook's Notes

Fresh turmeric has the highest nutritional payoff, but ground and cold-pressed pack a punch, too. Aim for two teaspoons a day to feel the effects.
