2. Add Spices

Tips
- For a spicy wellness shot, reduce water to ½ cup and drink in small portions.
- Add a splash of coconut milk for a creamy golden latte variation.
- Ginger and turmeric are anti-inflammatory; black pepper enhances bioavailability.
I can also give a cold/iced version, a turmeric-cinnamon latte variation, or a batch recipe for a week-long wellness drink if you want.
