    Maple Turmeric Tonic

    This sunny tonic is sure to brighten your day. One of the elements that gives this drink its sunny hue is turmeric. While it is well understood that curcumin, a compound in turmeric, has significant anti-inflammatory and antioxidant effects, unfortunately, it is poorly absorbed into our bloodstreams. To increase absorption, it is recommended to consume piperine, a substance commonly found in black pepper.

    Tip

    Instead of carrot, grate a small red beet into your tonic for a pretty-in-pink sipping experience.
