Yield 1 3/4 quarts

Number Of Ingredients 9

Ingredients

2 whole limes, scrubbed
1 whole lemon, scrubbed
1 whole orange, scrubbed
1 teaspoon ground turmeric
1 lemongrass stalk, approximately 8 inches long, cut into 2-inch pieces and crushed
1 (2-inch) piece ginger, scrubbed and thinly sliced
5 fresh oregano sprigs
Hot water, for serving
Honey, for serving

Steps:

Slice the limes, lemon and orange into 1/4-inch-thick rounds, leaving the skin on. Place the citrus slices in a medium pot and fill with 8 cups of water. Stir in the turmeric and add the lemongrass pieces. Bring to a boil over high heat. Lower to a simmer and cook for 5 minutes.
Remove from heat, and add the sliced ginger and fresh oregano. Cover and allow to steep for 10 minutes. Strain through a mesh sieve.
Serve hot in mugs, as 1- to 2-ounce portions, diluted to taste with more hot water and sweetened with a drizzle of honey. Tonic can be cooled and stored refrigerated in an airtight container for up to 2 weeks. To reheat, portion the cold tonic into mugs and top with boiling water.

Tips:

Mise en Place: Before you start cooking, make sure you have all your ingredients prepped and measured. This will help you stay organized and avoid scrambling.
Choose the Right Citrus: Not all citrus fruits are created equal. For this recipe, you'll want to use a variety of citrus fruits with different flavors and colors. Some good options include oranges, lemons, limes, and grapefruits.
Use Fresh Herbs: Fresh herbs will give your spice blend the best flavor. If you don't have fresh herbs on hand, you can use dried herbs, but be sure to use half the amount.
Toast the Spices: Toasting the spices will bring out their flavor and aroma. Be sure to toast them over low heat so they don't burn.
Store Properly: Once you've made your spice blend, store it in an airtight container in a cool, dry place. It will keep for up to 6 months.
