1/2 teaspoon high-quality honey
200 milliliters warm water or homemade plant milk

200 milliliters hot water (approximately 80°C or 176°F)
1/2 teaspoon honey (optional)

Instructions

Step 1

Preparing the Turmeric Drink

In a small bowl, combine 1/2 teaspoon of turmeric, 1/2 teaspoon of ginger, and a pinch of black pepper. These ingredients are known for their anti-inflammatory properties.

Add 1/2 teaspoon of coconut oil to aid the absorption of curcumin from turmeric and 1/2 teaspoon of high-quality honey for natural sweetness. Mix well until blended.

Pour in 200 milliliters of warm water or your choice of plant milk, stirring continuously. This drink can be gently consumed on an empty stomach or during the first half of your day for energizing effects.

Step 2

Making the Lemon Elixir

Start by squeezing the juice from 1/2 lemon into a glass. This citrus fruit is perfect for cleansing and energizing.

Add 200 milliliters of warm water to the glass along with a pinch of sea salt to balance electrolytes. For an additional kick, include 1 teaspoon of apple cider vinegar if desired.

This revitalizing drink is excellent in the morning to help rehydrate your body and balance cortisol levels.

Step 3

Preparing the Warm Herbal Drink

Begin by boiling water and allowing it to cool slightly until it reaches about 80°C or 176°F.

In a teapot or cup, combine 1 teaspoon of chamomile, 1 teaspoon of lemon balm, and 1 teaspoon of mint. These herbs promote relaxation and calmness.

Pour the hot water over the herbs and steep for several minutes. If you prefer a hint of sweetness, stir in 1/2 teaspoon of honey once the tea cools down to a warm state.

This soothing drink can be enjoyed in the evening to lower cortisol levels, improve sleep, and support adrenal health.
