Ingredients
- 20 ml INTI elixir
- 1/4 organic cucumber, sliced
- 5 fresh mint leaves
- 150 ml sparkling water
- 1 teaspoon lemon juice
- Ice cubes
Step-by-step instructions
- In a tall glass, place the cucumber slices and mint leaves.
- Lightly muddle to release the aromas — without crushing completely.
- Add ice cubes, then pour in 20 ml of INTI elixir.
- Add 1 tsp lemon juice.
- Top with 150 ml of sparkling water.
- Gently stir and serve with a cucumber slice for garnish.
Why this recipe is anti-inflammatory
The INTI elixir used in this recipe contains organic ginger + turmeric + black pepper. The piperine in black pepper multiplies the bioavailability of curcumin by 20 (Shoba study 1998), and [6]-gingerol inhibits the NF-kB pathway. The result: an anti-inflammatory effect far superior to a ginger-only mocktail.
Possible variations
- Add grated fresh ginger for a more pronounced kick
- Replace honey with organic maple syrup
- For a more festive version: garnish with seasonal fruits
Storage
This drink is best enjoyed fresh, within 30 minutes of preparation. The INTI elixir itself can be stored for 12 months unopened, and 2 months after opening in the refrigerator.
