You’ll need: 2 cups of water, a 1-inch piece of ginger (sliced), 1 lemon (sliced), a handful of fresh mint, and ½ teaspoon of turmeric. Optional: a cinnamon stick, a pinch of cayenne, or a drizzle of honey.
Boil the water, then toss in the ginger, turmeric, and cinnamon. Let it simmer for 10 minutes—this is where the flavor party starts. Turn off the heat, add the lemon slices and mint, and let it steep for 5 more minutes.
Strain it into your favorite mug. Breathe in the steam. Look at what you made! Sip slowly, and feel the warmth spreading like a cozy hug from the inside out.
