Steps

7-8 mins

1

Keep all ingredients handy.
2

Boil water in a saucepan in medium flame. Gradually, grate the turmeric and ginger into the water. (Grating ensures finer absorption than chopped pieces). Add the black pepper powder, ghee, lemon juice into the water and cover the pan with a lid till it reaches a boil.
3

After the concoction boils, you can see the golden shine of it, remove the pan from flame. Strain it. At this point you can add honey and stir, I personally don't need a sweetener. Serve hot.

Notes-
5

Wouldn't suggest market available Haldi powder for this, those are highly adulterated and it completely negates the reason to make this healthy drink. Use organic Haldi powder if available.
6

You can use orange juice in the place of lemon juice, if available.
