August Ritual- Golden Warmth Tonic

Ritual of the Month: Golden Warmth Tonic

To match the season, here's a little ritual to bring warmth into your mornings, an Ayurvedic ginger-turmeric tonic, perfect for kindling energy on these cool August days.

Simmer 1 tbsp sliced ginger, ½ tsp turmeric, ¼ tsp cinnamon and ¼ tsp cardamom in a cup of water for 5 minutes. Add a pinch of black pepper, simmer one more minute, then strain. Once warm (not hot), stir through a teaspoon each of honey and lemon juice. Enjoy first thing in the morning.
