Ginger Tumeric Mocktail

GINGER TUMERIC MOCKTAIL

If you follow me on Instagram you have probably seen me with this drink. It is my go to mocktail and I drink it basically every day. Not only does it taste delicious, but it is good for you! Ginger naturally soothes the stomach and turmeric is known for its anti-inflammatory properties. There are two ways to make this drink. One way is with fresh ingredients and another with a tea bag. Check out another great mocktail here.
