TIPS
Here are some helpful tips for Turmeric Mint Detox Broth:
- Use Fresh Ginger: It releases more bioactive compounds than powdered forms and boosts flavour.
- Avoid Boiling Mint: Add mint late in the process to preserve its cooling aroma and nutrients.
- Lime Last: Adding citrus juice after cooking preserves its vitamin C content.
- Strain If Preferred: For a smoother experience, strain the broth before drinking.
- Stir Occasionally: Keep ingredients well mixed during simmering for consistent flavour.
VARIATIONS
- Add Black Pepper: A small pinch enhances turmeric absorption through the compound piperine.
- Use Lemon Instead Of Lime: Offers a milder citrus note and a different antioxidant profile.
- Sweeten Lightly: Add a drop of raw honey (if not vegan) to balance the earthy tones.
- Cold Version: Chill and serve over ice for a detoxifying summer refresher.
- Herbal Switch: Try fresh coriander leaves in place of mint for a slightly savoury edge.
PREPPING AND STORAGE
- Refrigerate: Store in a sealed glass jar for up to 2 days. Reheat gently before serving.
- Freeze In Cubes: Pour into ice trays and freeze. Drop a cube into warm water for an instant detox drink.
- Avoid Reheating Repeatedly: Reheating more than once can reduce the nutritional quality and taste.
- Best Fresh: For full aroma and potency, prepare just before consuming when possible.
