Tumeric and ginger health drinks

I mentioned making these drinks from tumeric in the comments yesterday. My tumeric and ginger are growing well around the garden and im looking forward to the beginning of winter when I can start harvesting and using it. Ive made fire cidar vinegar twice now at the beginning of winter. I use in witholive oil as a salad dressing and also add hot water and honey to make it a hot drink. Good for an immune boost.

Jamu is an Indonesian health drink. Looking at all the recipes they are a bit different but the main ingredients appear to be tumeric, ginger, lemon and honey simmered together.

SPICED JAMU

Chopped ginger

Chopped tumeric

Some slices of lemon or lime

Cinnamon stick

A few cloves

Peppercorns

Star anise

Lemon grass

Add a bit of water and simmer away. I keep it on the stove the whole day so that whoever is sick with colds or flu can top up with water and re simmer and get multiple drinks out of it. We add honey to it before drinking it too.

I can't say if it actually helps the cold/flu, but I think it probably does and people feel loved and cared for if you make some up for them.
