Recipe Notes
- For a thicker, fibre-rich version, you can leave the mixture unstrained.
- Fresh turmeric stains very easily, so use a chopping board and utensils you do not mind turning golden.
- Store in clean sealed bottles in the fridge for up to 7 days. Shake well before serving, as natural separation will happen.
- Use maple syrup or coconut syrup to keep this recipe fully plant-based. Honey can also be used if you are not following a vegan diet.
