Ginger Turmeric Lemon Cubes

A simple, anti-inflammatory drink base ready in 10 minutes

These ice cubes are your secret weapon for busy mornings. Make a batch on Sunday, store them in the freezer, and drop one into water or tea whenever you need a quick boost.

What you need

• Fresh ginger (about 5 cm piece)
• 2 lemons
• 1 teaspoon turmeric powder
• Optional: a pinch of black pepper (helps absorption)
• Ice cube tray

How to make it

1. Grate the ginger (no need to peel if organic)
2. Squeeze the lemons
3. Mix ginger, lemon juice, turmeric, and pepper in a bowl
4. Pour into ice cube tray
5. Freeze for at least 4 hours

How to use

Drop 1-2 cubes into a glass of water, sparkling water, or warm tea. Let it melt slightly and stir. That's it.

Why this works

No measuring every morning. No chopping when you're half awake. Just grab a cube and go. Stores for up to 3 months in the freezer.

Practical tip: Make a double batch. You'll thank yourself later.
