Optional boosters: 1–2 fresh mint leaves for extra cooling or a pinch of black pepper to enhance turmeric absorption.

Procedure

  1. Roast & release aroma (30 sec)
    Warm a small saucepan on medium heat; dry-toast cumin, coriander, and fennel seeds until fragrant. This quick roasting “opens” volatile oils that aid digestion.

  2. Simmer (5 min)
    Add 2 cups water plus ginger slices and turmeric. Bring to a gentle boil, then reduce heat and simmer 5 minutes. A longer simmer (up to 10 minutes) yields a darker, stronger brew.

  3. Finish with lemon
    Turn off heat, cover, and let the spices steep another 3 minutes. Strain into a mug and squeeze or float lemon rounds just before drinking to preserve heat-sensitive vitamin C.
