How to Prepare the Health Blend: Step-by-Step Guide
This tonic is easy to make and can be prepared in just a few minutes.
Ingredients
-
1 tablespoon raw honey (preferably organic)
-
½ teaspoon cinnamon powder
-
½ teaspoon turmeric powder (or fresh turmeric, grated)
-
1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar (with "the mother")
-
1 tablespoon chia seeds
-
1 cup warm water (or lukewarm plant-based milk for a creamier version)
Instructions
Step 1: Prepare the Chia Seeds
In a small bowl or cup, add 1 tablespoon of chia seeds to ½ cup of warm water. Stir well and let it sit for 10-15 minutes until it forms a gel-like consistency. This pre-soaking helps with better digestion and nutrient absorption.
Step 2: Mix the Dry Ingredients
In a separate cup, mix ½ teaspoon of cinnamon powder and ½ teaspoon of turmeric powder. Stir to combine evenly.
Step 3: Add the Liquid Ingredients
Pour 1 tablespoon of apple cider vinegar into the mixture. Add 1 tablespoon of raw honey and mix well until it dissolves completely. Slowly add 1 cup of warm water or lukewarm plant-based milk, stirring continuously until everything is well combined.
Step 4: Add the Soaked Chia Seeds
Once the chia seeds have absorbed the water and turned into a gel, add them to the prepared mixture. Stir well to distribute the seeds evenly throughout the drink.
Step 5: Enjoy!
Drink immediately for maximum benefits. If the taste is too strong, you can adjust the flavor by adding a squeeze of lemon juice or a pinch of black pepper (which significantly enhances the absorption of curcumin from turmeric).
