Frequently asked questions
1. Can I use ground spices instead of fresh/whole?
Yes! Use 1/2 teaspoon ground ginger + 1/4 teaspoon ground cloves per cup. Fresh ginger has a slightly stronger flavor, but powder works very well.
2. Is it safe to drink water every day?
Most people tolerate it very well. If you have a sensitive stomach, start with smaller amounts. If you take blood-thinning medications, consult your doctor first.
3. When is the best time to drink it?
In the morning on an empty stomach, for energy and joint comfort; in the evening (lighter version) to relax and sleep better.
