• 750 ml chicken or vegetable broth
• 1½ tsp turmeric powder
• 3 garlic cloves, minced
• 1 tsp fresh ginger, grated
• 2 tbsp fresh lemon juice

Method
1. Simmer the broth: Pour broth into a saucepan. Add garlic and ginger. Bring to a gentle simmer (approx. 5 min).
2. Add turmeric: Whisk in turmeric and black pepper. Simmer for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.
3. Finish: Remove from heat. Stir in lemon juice and season with salt. Taste and adjust.
