Why This Works for Me
This is something simple I’ve been incorporating into my daily routine. It’s light, soothing, and easy for me to tolerate.
I find it helpful when I don’t want something heavy but still want something warm and comforting. It also fits well with the smaller, more frequent meals I’ve been focusing on.
Ingredients
12 oz hot water
1 slice freeze-dried citrus (lemon, lime, or orange)
1/8 tsp ginger
1/8 tsp cinnamon
1/8 tsp nutmeg
1/8 tsp turmeric
How I Make It
Heat 12 ounces of water until hot (not necessarily boiling).
Add the freeze-dried citrus slice to the water.
Add ginger, cinnamon, nutmeg, and turmeric.
Stir gently.
Let steep for a few minutes before drinking.
Texture & Tolerance Notes:
Light and easy to sip
Not heavy or filling
Gentle on my stomach
Variations / Substitutions
I rotate between lemon, lime, and orange depending on what I have or what sounds good that day. Sometimes I’ll use two, or even all three together.
If I want a little sweetness, I’ll occasionally add a small amount of honey.
Spice levels can also be adjusted depending on how strong or mild I want it.
My Notes
This has become a small but steady part of my day. It’s simple, but it helps me feel a little more balanced and supported.
