Description

After the hustle and bustle of the holiday season (i.e., the stress, germ-sharing, and overindulging), our immune systems could use a little extra love. Try this immune-boosting refresher made with our honey-ginger-turmeric syrup for a delicious way to add vitamin C and elderberry to your day.

Serves

Total Time

15 minutes

Ingredients

For the honey-ginger-turmeric syrup

1⁄2 cup Natural Grocers® Brand Raw and Unfiltered Clover Honey

1 cup filtered water

1 thumb-sized piece of organic ginger (not necessary to peel)

1 teaspoon Natural Grocers Brand Bulk Organic Ground Turmeric Root

Individual mocktails

2 tablespoons honey-ginger-turmeric syrup

1 tablespoon organic lime juice

2 tablespoons organic pomegranate juice (or your favorite organic juice)

2 tablespoons organic elderberry syrup (choose one with no added sweetener)

1⁄2 cup sparkling mineral water

Optional for garnish

Organic pomegranate seeds (fresh or frozen), organic mint, or a slice of organic lime

Directions

Mix the honey and water in a small saucepan over medium heat and stir until honey is incorporated, creating a smooth syrup. Heat until it is steaming but not bubbling.
Remove from the heat and add the chopped ginger; steep for 5 minutes. Whisk in the turmeric.
Transfer the syrup to a blender, filling it to no more than halfway full (when blending hot liquid, remove the center piece from the blender lid, and place a folded dishtowel over the opening). Turn the blender on the lowest setting and work your way up to blend until smooth, using caution to avoid splashing. Blend at high speed for 30 seconds.
Strain the syrup into a container using a fine mesh strainer. The syrup can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 1 month or in the freezer for up to 6 months.
To make a mocktail, fill an eight-ounce glass with ice. Add the syrup, lime juice, pomegranate juice, and elderberry syrup over the ice, then add the mineral water. Stir lightly with a long-handled spoon. Garnish with organic pomegranate seeds, organic mint, or a slice of organic lime if desired.
