Digestive Lemon Ginger Drink

Refresh and support your gut with this zingy, anti‑inflammatory beverage.

• 2 cups water
• Juice of 2 fresh lemons
• 1‑inch piece of fresh ginger, peeled and sliced
• 1 teaspoon turmeric powder (raw, preferably)
• 1 tablespoon raw honey (optional)
• A pinch of cayenne pepper
• A pinch of sea salt
• Several fresh mint leaves (for garnish)

1. Place the water in a saucepan and bring to a gentle simmer.
2. Stir in the sliced ginger, turmeric, cayenne pepper, and mint leaves. Let it steep for about 5 minutes.
3. Remove the pan from heat, strain the mixture through a fine mesh sieve, and transfer the liquid to a heat‑proof glass.
4. While the liquid is still warm, stir in the lemon juice, honey, and sea salt until dissolved.
5. Serve immediately hot, or cool to room temperature and refrigerate for a chilled drink. Garnish with a mint sprig.

Health Tip: Ginger boosts digestive motility and reduces bloating, while lemon’s vitamin C and citric acid promote a balanced gut flora. This drink is ideal after meals or before bedtime for gentle, soothing support.
