TURMERIC GINGER LEMONADE WITH MINT

Steps:

• Bring Water (4 1/2 cup) to a light boil. Add Ground Turmeric (1 1/2 teaspoon) and Fresh Ginger (1 tablespoon), and let it boil again, then reduce heat and simmer for 10 minutes. Simmering will extract the beneficial compounds from the turmeric and ginger.
• Remove from the stove and let it cool a bit. Then strain the liquid using a mesh strainer or cloth to get rid of excess ginger.
• Pour the rest of the liquid into a pitcher along with your Lemon Juice (1/4 cup), Lemon Extract (1 teaspoon) if using, and Raw Honey (2 tablespoon) and mix. Garnish with slices of Lemon (to taste) and Fresh Mint Leaves (to taste). Store in the fridge.
