Turmeric-Ginger Tonic

With cold and flu season underway, supporting your immune system is a must. What better way than with an easy, make-ahead tonic you can keep in the fridge and sip daily for anti-inflammatory and immune benefits? Read below for the recipe!

Star ingredients:

• 1 tbsp of organic turmeric powder

• 2 1-inch pieces of peeled ginger

• 1/4 cup of raw honey

• 4 oranges, peeled

• 4 lemons, peeled

• 1 tbsp of dried oregano

• 1 tsp of black pepper

• 5-6 cups of filtered water

Instructions:

1. Remove the skin from your oranges and lemons, getting rid of the white rind also and only leaving the pulp

2. Slice your oranges and lemons and add them to a blender

3. Cut your ginger into 2 1-inch thick pieces

4. Remove the skin form your ginger pieces and add them to the blender

5. Add 1 tbsp of turmeric to the blender

6. Add 1/4 cup of raw honey to the blender

7. Add 1 tbsp of dried oregano to the blender

8. Add 1 tsp of black pepper to the blender

9. Add 2-3 cups of water to the blender

10. Blend on HIGH (I use a Vitamix on setting 9) for about 3 minutes or until fully smooth

11. Slowly strain your mixture into a bowl with a mesh and spoon, pressing to make sure you get as much of the mixture (without getting pulp of ginger pieces to your drink!)

12. Pour your thick, strained mixture into a glass container

13. Add about 3 more cups of filtered water to dilute mixture

14. Store in your fridge for up to 7 days

Enjoy!
