Preparing this drink at home is simple and requires only everyday kitchen tools. Here’s a clear guide:
Step 1: Prepare the onion. Peel one whole red onion and slice it into thin rings. Place them in a large cooking pot.
Step 3: Chop ginger. Peel a thumb-sized piece of fresh ginger and dice it into small cubes. Add it in.
Step 4: Clean the lemons. Wash one lemon thoroughly in water mixed with a pinch of baking soda. This removes wax and pesticide residue. Slice it into thin rings, peel included, and add to the pot.
Step 5: Add water. Pour in one liter of clean water, covering all the ingredients.
Step 6: Add spices. Mix two tablespoons of turmeric powder with 1/8 teaspoon of ground black pepper, then add to the pot.
Step 7: Simmer gently. Bring everything to a gentle simmer and let it cook for about ten minutes. This allows the flavors and nutrients to blend into the water.
Step 8: Cool and strain. Remove from heat and let it cool for 30 minutes. Strain the liquid through a fine sieve into a glass bottle or jar.
Step 9: Add honey. While the liquid is still slightly warm, stir in two tablespoons of honey. Shake the bottle gently to combine.
Step 10: Add fresh lemon juice. Squeeze the juice of the second lemon into the bottle for a bright, refreshing finish.
