Just two tablespoons each morning can become a calming ritual that helps you feel refreshed, balanced, and ready to face the day.

Ingredients:

• 1 cup raw, organic apple cider vinegar (with the mother)
• 1 cup fresh lemon juice (freshly squeezed)
• ½ cup raw honey (or pure maple syrup for a vegan option)
• 2 tablespoons ground turmeric
• 1 tablespoon freshly grated ginger (or ginger powder)
• 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 1 teaspoon black pepper (for better turmeric absorption)
• 2 cups filtered water

Instructions:

1. Start by sterilizing a glass jar or bottle to ensure freshness and longer shelf life. Clean containers help preserve the quality of natural ingredients.
2. In a mixing bowl, add the fresh lemon juice and apple cider vinegar. Stir gently until fully combined.
3. Add the raw honey and mix slowly. This step may take a minute because raw honey dissolves gradually, but it helps balance the strong flavors.
4. Sprinkle in turmeric, ginger, cinnamon, and black pepper. Stir continuously to avoid clumps and ensure even distribution of spices.
5. Slowly pour in the filtered water while mixing. This dilutes the concentrate and makes it easier to consume daily.
6. Transfer the mixture into your glass jar or bottle, seal tightly, and shake well before use.
7. Store in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks. Shake before every serving.
8. Each morning, take 2 tablespoons on an empty stomach. You may follow it with warm water if desired.

• Use a straw when drinking to protect tooth enamel.
• Pair this tonic with a balanced diet and light morning movement for best results.
