Ingredients & Substitutions
Fresh lemons are key for that zesty kick, and I prefer using filtered water for a cleaner taste. Maple syrup is my go-to sweetener, but you could use agave or another sweetener if you prefer. And don’t skip the black pepper—it may seem odd, but it really helps your body absorb the turmeric's benefits!
