Golden Tonic

The change of season into cooler days is a great time to brew warming, immunity boosting tonics and teas.  This brew offers the dietary benefits of ginger, turmeric and oranges, as well as warming, seasonal flavors.  Ginger aids digestion, and both ginger and turmeric offer anti-inflammatory benefits.  Oranges provide vitamin C, both from its flesh and peel.

I used coconut sugar for a sweetener in this recipe.  Maple syrup or honey are also good choices.  Add any sweetener as the final step of the recipe.


Prep time:  20 minutes
Cooking time:  40 minutes
Yield: 5 cups

Ingredients
1" piece of turmeric root
3" piece of ginger root
1 Tbsp orange zest
½ cup fresh orange juice
2 Tbsp lemon juice
3 turns of a black pepper mill
¼  tsp ground cinnamon
½ tsp coconut sugar
7 cups water

Instructions
  1. Peel the turmeric and ginger root and cut into ⅛" - ¼" slivers.
  2. Zest a tablespoon of orange peel on a grater or zester.
  3. Fill a medium pot with 7 cups of water.
  4. Place the turmeric and ginger root pieces in the water and bring to a boil.
  5. Simmer for 10 minutes.
  6. Add the zest, orange and lemon juice, black pepper and cinnamon. 
  7. ​Simmer the mixture for at least 40 minutes.
  8. Add the coconut sugar to taste.
  9. Strain and serve.
​    Tip:  Serve warm or cold as an iced tonic.  It will last in the fridge for up to a week.
