Ingredients & Substitutions
Fresh turmeric can be a bit tricky to find, but I always check my local health food store or farmer's market. If you can’t find it, you can substitute with 1 tsp of ground turmeric. Just remember, fresh is always better! And maple syrup can be swapped out for agave or any other natural sweetener you prefer.
Tips & Notes
- •I love using a glass pitcher because it not only looks pretty but helps keep the drink cold longer.
- •If you want to up the nutritional benefits, try adding a touch of black pepper with the turmeric; it helps increase absorption.
