ANTI INFLAMMATORY TONIC:

This tonic recipe is our go-to for reducing systemic inflammation. It contains citrus to add sweetness & Vitamin C; ginger, cayenne pepper and turmeric for their incredible anti-inflammatory properties; and black pepper for its synergistic ability to enhance the properties of turmeric.

You can enjoy it as a morning revitalizing shot, or as a delicious mocktail by adding it to some sparkling water for an evening elixir.
