For #SunDIY, I want to share my favorite tasty tonic. It's a good evening pick me up, has pulled me out of scores of burgeoning colds, and is highly adaptable!

Ingredients:
Water
Lemon juice
Ginger (powdered or fresh and grated)
Honey

Bring water to a boil. Add lemon juice, honey, and ginger (amounts vary based on your tastes, but I like a lot of lemon and a lot of ginger), and stir well.

Variations include blood orange, cranberry, adding turmeric, drinking it iced.

For a super boosted version, I boil the fresh ginger and fresh turmeric with the water and steep it with ginseng root, then add lemon and honey. The ginseng and turmeric flavors are both earthy and balance well. Be careful boiling turmeric, though. Too much will quickly become overpowering. 💜
