Ginger Turmeric Cinnamon Mocktail
Who wants a refreshing and cool mocktail for hot summer nights? Or a warm drink for cool days? I love to try new mocktails. And this recipe is delicious and healthy – full of anti-inflammatory ingredients and antioxidants — ginger, turmeric, and cinnamon. You can even add a little stevia or monk fruit if you need added sweetness. It’s quick and easy to make and stores well in your fridge. And some people like to do it as a small daily drink for immune boosting. Try it today!
