Why this recipe is anti-inflammatory

The INTI elixir used in this recipe contains organic ginger + turmeric + black pepper. Piperine multiplies the bioavailability of curcumin by 20x (Shoba 1998), and [6]-gingerol inhibits the NF-kB pathway. Result: an anti-inflammatory effect that is much stronger than a ginger-only mocktail.

Possible variations

• Add fresh grated ginger for more spice
• Replace honey with organic maple syrup
• For a festive version: garnish with seasonal fruits

Storage

This drink is best consumed fresh, within 30 minutes of preparation. The INTI elixir itself can be stored unopened for 12 months, and for 2 months in the refrigerator after opening.
