Servings: 1
Equipment

- 1 cinnamon stick or ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
- Dash black pepper
- ½ lemon juiced

Instructions
- Bring water to a boil and add the turmeric, ginger, and cinnamon. (When using fresh turmeric and ginger, I like to add it to a tea strainer or tea bag.) Simmer for 5 minutes. Turn off the heat and squeeze in the lemon juice.
- Strain into a mug (I use a piece of cheesecloth over a fine mesh strainer to catch the cracked black pepper) and add the honey (or desired sweetener).
