This daily tonic takes about two minutes to make and packs a serious punch of flavor. Turmeric gives it a beautiful golden color and earthy warmth, black pepper boosts absorption, and fresh lemon juice adds a bright, zingy finish. Sweetened with a touch of honey, it is the kind of simple habit that is easy to stick with.
