This beautifully flavoursome drink was inspired by my friend Nora, a ‘keep-fit’ enthusiast, who I admire for her continuous perseverance and motivation in achieving her fitness goals. She has been a great influence on me, supporting me on one of my journeys, to qualify as a Personal Trainer. Both Nora and I love the warm and spicy aroma of the ginger, which combined with all the other magic ingredients creates a fantastic antioxidant concoction. So enjoy it as a comforting warm drink, a cough elixir…….or simply chill in the fridge, add a bit of ice and join in the party, alcohol-free!
