Cody's Restorative Elixir
Tis' the season for sweets, drinks, and busy calendars. This delish drink can help by giving an immune boosting dose of Vitamin C as well as quell inflammation… and did I mention it tastes great, too?
- 1 tablespoon thinly sliced fresh turmeric
- fresh mint leaves
- 1 teaspoon thinly sliced fresh ginger
- 1/2 teaspoon granulated sugar
- Dash of salt
- 1/2 cup fresh pineapple juice
- 1 1/2 tablespoons fresh lime juice
- 1/3 cup seltzer water - lime is a great choice!
- Lime slices and mint leaves (optional)
How it's done:
Step 1
Muddle turmeric, mint, ginger, sugar, and salt in a cocktail shaker. Add juices and a few ice cubes; cover and shake for 15 seconds.
Step 2

This drink can also be made in batches... pro-tip: be sure to shake it up frequently or you may find yourself with an extra spicy sip!
