Pro Tips
- Make the shrub ahead: fresh ginger + turmeric + sugar + rice vinegar, rest 24 hours, strain.
- A pinch of black pepper in the shrub increases turmeric bioavailability (the 'golden milk' principle).
- Candied ginger garnish is the final flex; it softens in the drink and becomes a spicy snack.
