You will need:
A fresh ginger root: peeled or left with the skin. I usually use 1 or 2 whole pieces of ginger. The more ginger, the stronger the flavor will be. If you want a mild flavor, use a smaller size.
Whole organic lemon, with skin
½ TBSP organic turmeric powder *You can use raw turmeric root and juice it out.
2 TBSP raw honey, buy locally
5 cups of filtered water, add more if it tastes too strong for you. *I like strong flavors.
