Lemon & Ginger Wellness Tonic

This tonic is packed with ingredients known for supporting digestion and providing a natural energy boost.

Ingredients

2 large Lemons (thoroughly washed)
3-inch piece Fresh ginger root (peeled and sliced)
1 tsp Ground turmeric (or 1-inch fresh turmeric root)
1 tbsp Apple cider vinegar (with “the mother”)
1 pinch Black pepper (this helps your body absorb the turmeric)
1 cup Filtered water
Optional: 1 tsp Raw honey or a natural sweetener (if desired)

Step-by-Step Instructions

1. Prepare the Ingredients

Slice the lemons into thin rounds. If you are using fresh ginger or turmeric, grate them finely to release as much juice and fiber as possible.

2. Blend or Steep

There are two ways to make this:

Method A (Smoothie Style): Place the lemons, ginger, turmeric, pepper, and water into a high-speed blender. Blend until completely smooth.
Method B (Infusion Style): Simmer the ginger and turmeric in the water for 10 minutes. Remove from heat, let it cool slightly, and then stir in the fresh lemon juice and apple cider vinegar.

3. Strain (Optional)

If you prefer a clear liquid, pour the mixture through a fine-mesh strainer or cheesecloth into a clean glass jar. Press down on the solids to get every drop of nutrient-rich liquid.

4. Store

Pour the tonic into a glass bottle and store it in the refrigerator. It will stay fresh for up to 5–7 days.

How to Use

Serving Size: Take 1 to 2 tablespoons daily.
Mixing: You can take it as a concentrated “shot” or stir it into a mug of warm (not boiling) water to enjoy as a soothing tea.

Pro Tip

Drinking this first thing in the morning on an empty stomach is a great way to “wake up” your digestive system and keep you hydrated.
