Infusing tonic water with the warm and earthy notes of turmeric adds a unique twist to your beverages, both alcoholic and non-alcoholic ones. Follow these simple steps to create your own turmeric-infused tonic water at home
1 cup tonic water 1 tablespoon fresh turmeric, thinly sliced (or 1 teaspoon ground turmeric) 1-2 slices of fresh ginger for added depth (optional)
If using fresh turmeric, peel and thinly slice it. If using ground turmeric, measure out the desired amount.
In a small saucepan, pour the tonic water and add the sliced turmeric. Fresh ginger slices can be added for an extra layer of flavour. Allow it to simmer for 5-10 minutes to let the flavors infuse.
After simmering, let the turmeric-infused tonic water cool to room temperature. Once cooled, strain the mixture using a fine mesh sieve to remove the turmeric and ginger slices.
