Ingredients
1 teaspoon of ground turmeric (or 1-inch fresh turmeric root, peeled and grated)
2 cups of water
½ teaspoon of freshly ground black pepper (enhances curcumin absorption)
1 teaspoon of honey or maple syrup (optional, for sweetness)
½ teaspoon of fresh grated ginger (optional, for added flavor and benefits)
1 teaspoon of lemon juice (optional, for a citrus twist)
