Low Residue diets limit fibrous roots like ginger, but only a small slice flavors the whole recipe, which is a trace per serving, so it is likely Low Residue. If you prefer to always avoid fresh ginger, please tap it and change its rating to Red.

Fruit juice contains far less fiber than whole fruit, so the lemon juice used here leaves little residue. If you prefer to always avoid lemon, please tap it and change its rating to Red.


Combine the water and sliced ginger in a small saucepan. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat, then reduce to a gentle simmer and cook for 8 minutes, until the liquid is fragrant and pale golden.
Remove from the heat and stir in the lemon juice and turmeric, if using. Let steep for 5 minutes.
