Ingredients

1 Lemon Ripe large organic
1 Ginger root A fresh good thumb size piece
.5 tsp Turmeric Powdered or freshly grated turmeric root
1 tsp Raw honey Optional or 1 tsp
.5 tsp Cayenne pepper Optional or 1 tsp
16 oz Water Purified filtered

Instructions

Gather a large drinking glass or stainless-steel drinking container.
Use a Rikon Epicurean Garlic Press (or other type press) to press a good thumb size piece of fresh ginger root into the glass, including pulp. I take a knife and cut remaining from press into glass.
Cut Lemon in half.
Use a Norpro Stainless-Steel Citrus Juice Press, or other, to squeeze the juice out of both halves of the lemon into the glass.
Fill glass about half way with warm filtered water (8 oz).
Add Powdered turmeric, Cayenne pepper (optional but recommended), and Raw honey (optional) to glass, and stir until completely dissolved. A small whisk does come in handy.
Fill rest of glass with water (8 oz).
Mix again and consume.

You can make a batch and pour the leftovers in mason jars to put in the refrigerator.
Then you can either reheat it or drink it chilled throughout the day, or save for next few mornings.
The ingredients in this lemon ginger detox have anti-inflammatory and antioxidant benefits which also helps to alkalize our bodies.
