Golden Honey Morning Drink
A simple daily tonic for digestion, immunity, and inflammation support
Ingredients
FOR THE GOLDEN HONEY:
1/2 cup raw honey
1 1/2 tsp ground turmeric
1/2 tsp ground ginger
1/2 tsp ground Ceylon cinnamon
1/8 tsp ground black pepper
1/8 tsp sea salt
FOR THE MORNING DRINK:
1 tsp golden honey
1 cup warm filtered water
1–2 tbsp fresh lemon juice
Instructions
Add the raw honey to a small bowl or mason jar. Sprinkle in the turmeric, ginger, cinnamon, black pepper, and sea salt. Stir well until the spices are fully incorporated and the mixture is smooth. Seal and store at room temperature.
Add 1 teaspoon of golden honey to 1 cup warm (not hot) water. Squeeze in 1–2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice. Stir and sip slowly, ideally first thing in the morning.
Notes
Important: use warm, not boiling water to preserve the beneficial properties of raw honey.
Why use raw honey? Raw honey retains natural enzymes, antioxidants, and antimicrobial compounds that support gut and immune health, which are largely destroyed by heat processing and filtration in regular honey.
Black pepper is essential for improving absorption of turmeric’s active compounds.
Ceylon cinnamon is lower in coumarin than cassia cinnamon, making it safer for regular use while still offering blood sugar–balancing and anti-inflammatory benefits.
This drink works best when enjoyed consistently as part of a gentle morning routine.
