Ginger Elixir: An Ayurvedic Digestive Drink [Vegan]
Ingredients
- 1 cup water
- 1-2 inch grated fresh ginger
- 1/2 lime/lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon pure maple syrup
- 1/4 teaspoon crushed black pepper
- A pinch of Himalayan salt
Preparation
- Blend all ingredients in a blender until smooth.
Notes
For the sweetener, you could even use turbinado sugar or honey (if not a strict vegan). The key is to not to make this drink too sweet, you need to taste the pungency of ginger and heat of the black pepper when you drink this. This is what aids in better digestion.
