Lemon Ginger Turmeric Ice Cubes

Jump to recipe

A tall glass of cold water that actually does something for your body. That’s the magic behind these Lemon Ginger Turmeric Ice Cubes. Fresh lemon brings a burst of vitamin C, ginger wakes up your digestion, and turmeric brings those golden anti-inflammatory powers. Drop one (or two!) into your morning water and sip your way into a healthier day.

I’ve been using this since I was a kid growing up in Jamaica. My grandma always had a remedy ready for every sniffle or sore throat, and this immune-boosting combo was one of the few she trusted most. Simple ingredients, straight from the earth, that heal from the inside out. Now I keep that tradition alive in my own kitchen and love sharing it with my family and community.

This is the wellness ritual that has been going viral online, but to me, it’s not a trend. It’s a piece of home. These take just 5 minutes to prep and last all week in the freezer. Hydration with benefits? Yes please.

HomeCook Tip

Add a tiny pinch of black pepper to increase your body’s absorption of turmeric. Grandma taught it…science confirmed it.

A Wellness Ritual With Roots

Every time I make these, I think of my grandmother’s voice saying
“the earth gives what we need to heal.”

This recipe is a celebration of that truth. Something refreshing. Something healing. Something passed down.

From my Jamaican kitchen memories to yours…cheers to health.
