TIPS

Here are some helpful tips for you when making this ginger lemon energy booster.

  • Use Fresh Ingredients: Fresh ginger and lemon provide the best flavour and health benefits.
  • Control The Strength: Adjust the amount of ginger based on your preference; more for a spicier kick, less for a milder taste.
  • Keep Water Warm, Not Boiling: Boiling water can reduce the effectiveness of vitamin C in lemon and destroy honey’s beneficial enzymes.
  • Enhance Absorption: Drinking this tonic on an empty stomach can help maximise nutrient absorption.
  • Add A Cooling Variation: Let the drink cool and serve over ice for a refreshing detox water.
  • Make It Extra Soothing: Add a cinnamon stick or a dash of turmeric for additional anti-inflammatory benefits.

VARIATIONS

  • Turmeric Boost: Add ¼ tsp turmeric for an extra anti-inflammatory and immune-boosting effect.
  • Spicy Twist: Include a pinch of cayenne pepper for a metabolism-boosting variation.
  • Minty Freshness: Add fresh mint leaves for a cooling contrast.
  • Electrolyte Drink: Mix in a pinch of Himalayan salt for better hydration post-workout.
  • Apple Cider Vinegar Tonic: Add 1 tsp apple cider vinegar for additional digestive and detoxifying benefits.
  • Iced Version: Cool and serve over ice with sparkling water for a fizzy alternative.

PREPPING AND STORAGE

  • Refrigeration: Best consumed fresh but can be stored in the fridge for up to 24 hours.
  • Freezing: Make lemon-ginger ice cubes by freezing portions in an ice tray for later use.
  • Batch Preparation: Prepare a larger quantity and store it in a sealed bottle for up to two days.
  • On-The-Go: Store in a thermos or travel mug to enjoy warm throughout the day.
