Ingredients
  

Honey Trick Drink
  • 1 tablespoon raw honey
  • 1/2 lemon fresh lemon juiced
  • 1 small piece fresh ginger finely grated; or use 1/4 teaspoon ground ginger
  • 1 pinch ground turmeric
  • 1 pinch ground cinnamon optional
  • 1 cup warm water warm, not boiling

Equipment

  • Mug
  • Spoon
  • Fine grater
  • Citrus juicer optional
  • Kettle or small saucepan

Method
 

  1. Add the raw honey to a mug.
  2. Squeeze the fresh lemon juice into the mug with the honey.
  3. Add the finely grated ginger and ground turmeric. Add a pinch of cinnamon if desired.
  4. Heat the water until comfortably warm but not boiling, then pour 1 cup (240 ml) into the mug.
  5. Stir thoroughly until the honey dissolves and the spices are evenly distributed throughout the drink.
  6. Serve immediately while warm. Sip slowly as part of your morning routine or enjoy whenever you want a simple honey, lemon, and ginger drink.

Notes

Use warm rather than boiling water for a more pleasant drinking temperature and to preserve the fresh flavor of the honey and lemon.
If fresh ginger is unavailable, substitute about 1/4 teaspoon ground ginger. Cinnamon is optional and can be adjusted to taste.
This drink is a food and beverage recipe rather than a treatment for any medical condition. Honey still contributes added sugars, so portion it according to your dietary needs.
Do not give honey to children younger than 12 months because of the risk of infant botulism.
For the freshest flavor, prepare the drink immediately before serving rather than storing it after mixing.
