INGREDIENTS 2 quarts of water 1 organic whole lemon (zest and then quartered) 2-3" of fresh ginger root 2-3" of fresh turmeric (if you can't find it, you can use 1 tbsp of powdered - or more to taste) dash of chili powder 1/4 tsp black pepper DIRECTIONS 1. Place water in saucepan and heat over medium. 2. Grate ginger & turmeric and add to water. If you are using turmeric powder add that now. 3. Zest a washed (preferably organic) lemon over the saucepan, making sure to only get the yellow and not the white parts. 4. Once zested, cut lemon into quarters and squeeze the juice into the water, then add the lemon quarters to the water. 5. Add chili powder and black pepper to the water. 6. Stir and bring to a low boil. Boil for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally. 7. At the end of the 10 minutes, remove the mixture from the heat and allow to cool. 8. Once cooled, strain mixture with a cheesecloth (use one that you won't mind getting stained. The turmeric stains very easily) and put in fridge to chill. We put the main batch in a half-gallon mason jar but on busy weeks we fill half-pint jars so we can just grab-n-go. 9. Add honey or stevia to taste and enjoy!

I make this recipe a couple times a month and portion it into thirds. One third goes into the fridge to add to meals and salads. Two thirds get bagged separately and placed in the freezer for times when I need a quick snack or addition to meals and salads.
