TIPS

• Garlic Prep: Crush the garlic slightly before mincing to enhance its medicinal compounds.

• Ginger Tip: Use the edge of a spoon to peel fresh ginger easily and retain more of the root.

• Smoother Texture: Strain the broth through a fine mesh sieve if you prefer a clear, refined finish.

• Layered Flavour: Add the lemon juice after cooking for a brighter and fresher taste.

• Custom Strength: Adjust the amount of garlic and ginger depending on your spice and health preference.

VARIATIONS

• Immune Boost: Add a pinch of turmeric and a few black pepper flakes for added anti-inflammatory power.

• More Body: Stir in 1 tablespoon of cooked red lentils and blend for a heartier version.

• Spicy Heat: Add a dash of cayenne pepper or a few slices of fresh red chilli.

• Herbaceous Note: Include fresh coriander or parsley just before serving for a refreshing lift.

• Gut Soother: Replace lemon juice with apple cider vinegar for a tangy probiotic option.

• Freezing: Freeze in ice cube trays for single-serving reheats or in a jar for up to 1 month.
