Turmeric Ginger Healing Elixir - Vegan recipe hero image

I first stumbled upon this healing elixir during a chilly winter when I was feeling a bit under the weather.

The combination of turmeric and ginger not only warmed me up but also reminded me of cozy evenings spent in my grandmother's kitchen, where she brewed her own remedies from scratch.

I love how this drink feels like a warm embrace, and it’s so easy to whip up when I need a little extra love in my life.

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.

Storage & Freezing

Store any leftover elixir in the fridge in a sealed container. Just remember to enjoy it within a few days—its vibrant flavors are best fresh!

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I make this elixir ahead of time?

Absolutely! You can make a larger batch and store it in the fridge for up to 3 days. Just give it a good shake before serving.

Ingredients

Instructions

  1. 1

    Start by grating the fresh turmeric and ginger. Be careful with the turmeric; it can stain your hands and surfaces, so I usually wear gloves.

  2. 2

    In a medium saucepan, bring the water to a gentle boil.

  3. 3

    Add the grated turmeric and ginger to the boiling water, and let it simmer for about 5 minutes. This allows all those wonderful flavors and nutrients to infuse.

  4. 4

    After simmering, strain the mixture into a large mug or a small bowl to remove the grated roots.

  5. 5

    Stir in the coconut milk, maple syrup, black pepper, and lemon juice. If you're feeling a bit adventurous, sprinkle in some cinnamon!

  6. 6

    Give it a good stir and taste. Adjust sweetness or acidity as needed.

  7. 7

    Pour your healing elixir into your favorite mug, cozy up, and enjoy the warmth!
