Ingredients & Substitutions
Fresh turmeric can sometimes be hard to find, but it's worth seeking out for its vibrant flavor and health benefits. If you can’t find it, feel free to use 1 tsp of ground turmeric instead. Ginger is a must for that spicy kick, but if you want it milder, you can reduce the amount.
Tips & Notes
- •I keep my grated turmeric and ginger in an airtight container in the fridge for quick access during the week.
- •If you want to make it iced, just let it cool down and pour it over ice for a refreshing twist!
Recipe Variations
- •Sometimes I’ll add a pinch of cayenne pepper for an extra kick and metabolism boost.
- •If I’m in the mood for something sweeter, I’ll toss in a date or two while simmering to infuse natural sweetness.
