As I’ve mentioned many (too many?) times, I love my mocktails to have some kind of functional, body and immune-system supporting ingredients. This mocktail fits the bill!

I love it because it’s not hard to drink, like some immune-supporting teas and drinks. They can often taste like total dirt and I assure you this mocktail doesn’t taste anything like dirt. It’s tropical and luxurious, while remaining tasty and complex (you’ll feel like you’re sipping on a real cocktail!).

Ingredients + substitutions

Boiling water - this is to dissolve the honey, ginger, and turmeric. You’re making a tea of sorts, but you don’t have to strain anything (unless you want to).
Honey - which has immune-boosting properties due to its antibacterial, antiviral, and antioxidant compounds, it also sweetens your drink and gives it a nice, ever-so-slightly thicker consistency.
Ginger - I like to use fresh, grated ginger, it’s flavorful. But you can swap it for ¼ tsp ground ginger.
Turmeric - I used ground turmeric because I can’t seem to get turmeric root locally, so ground is best for this recipe because that’s what I’ve tested. Turmeric is a well-known immune system booster!
Pineapple juice - which is full of vitamins and great for digestion. It’s also very sweet and gives this drink a fantastic flavor that balances out the zing of the ginger and the bitterness of the turmeric.
Lemon juice + a wedge - lemon is rich in vitamin C, which enhances immune function, fights free radicals, and helps the body fight infections and illnesses. It’s the perfect addition to an immunity-boosting mocktail.

How to make it

Boil some water, I like to use an electric kettle, but you can boil some over the stove, or even use the microwave to keep things easy.
Then simply add your honey, ginger, and turmeric to the water and stir it. Allow it to cool off (ideally to room temperature).
Fill a glass with ice and pour the mixture into your cup. Stir in the pineapple and lemon juice.
Garnish with a lemon wedge and enjoy!

TIP: If the grittiness from the ginger or turmeric is going to bother you - feel free to strain it before pouring it over the ice into your cup. I don’t do this, but you can if you’d like!
