November has really arrived and is really getting to me right now. I am by nature rather a friend of hotter temperatures, so I felt really comfortable in Bali. As soon as I get home I have this annoying scratchy throat, difficulty swallowing and muscle pain. What to do? No thanks, I honestly have no desire for the chemical club and prefer to fall back on natural home remedies:
Lemon, ginger and turmeric.
Cold tonic with only 3 ingredients
First of all, the question arises as to what a tonic actually is? Good question, it is a medicinal substance taken for certain ailments to produce a feeling of relief or well-being. So not to be confused with tonic water.

Yes there is another category and that is those of you who just have a taste for this wonderfully healthy hot beverage. It’s so easy to make and all you need is. 5-Minutes , 3 ingredients and a small pot.
The base for this simple tonic is fresh lemon juice, freshly grated ginger and turmeric. If you miss some sweetness, then the addition of coconut blossom sugar or maple syrup is suitable. At the end, add a pinch of freshly ground black pepper. why? Turmeric and the piperine in black pepper need each other to significantly increase the usability of turmeric in the human body.
Here’s another brief overview of the effects of the ingredients in this brilliant tonic:
