Love this Lemon, ginger, turmeric and black pepper drink from Lemon Ginger Joy.
Turmeric is an herb in the ginger family and has been widely used for centuries throughout India and Asia. Turmeric’s medicinal benefits are associated with its active ingredient, curcumin which is known for its antioxidant and anti-inflammatory effects.
The addition of black pepper greatly enhances turmeric’s benefits.
Ginger has also been used for centuries for colds, flu, indigestion, nausea, arthritis, and headaches.
Lemons are one of the world’s oldest cultivated fruit plants. Lemon is an anti-inflammatory, aids in digestion and boosts the immune system.
Lemon Ginger Joy is a thin paste that easily stirs onto a drink. I use sparkling water and a couple of ounces of fruit juice. Honey would also make an excellent sweetener. It can also be made into a hot beverage.
