Crazy Healthy Instant Fizzy Turmeric and Spicy Ginger Beer

I am always thinking of ways to dress up my water. Slices of cucumber, raspberries, pieces of ginger, and big fat wedges of lemon. Don’t get me wrong I love water, after a jog feeling tired and hot, water in its simplest form is refreshing!
However, I love flavours and water is the perfect vehicle for an injection of taste. And in the case of turmeric and ginger it also benefits our health to add a bit of jazz. An interesting way to use plants.

Turmeric has a crazy powerhouse of health benefits! If you don’t already know what they are here is a quick list.
Turmeric is high in Curcumic which helps will the following:
- Powerful anti-inflammatory
- Strong antioxidant to neutralise free radicles
- Promotes brain health good to treat and heal Alzheimers
- Slows spread of cancer in the body even killing cancer cells
- Alleviates depression
- Can help arthritis symptoms
- Anti ageing
- Lower risk of heart disease
In light of this positive list I thought instead of just Turmeric tea why not Turmeric and Ginger Beer (not exactly traditional). These flavours sing in a curry so why not a healthy fizzy beverage and you don’t have to brew it. A healthy homemade soda.
If you are feeling adventurous and thirty for flavours take the Turmeric plunge!
