Method
1. Combine ingredients: Add all ingredients to a jar.
2. Shake: Seal the jar and shake vigorously for 20 seconds until fully emulsified.

Health Facts
★ Extra virgin olive oil: Rich in oleocanthal, a natural compound with anti-inflammatory effects similar to ibuprofen. Heart-protective monounsaturated fats.
★ Apple cider vinegar: Supports healthy blood sugar regulation, aids digestion, and may improve insulin sensitivity.
★ Turmeric in fat: Curcumin is fat-soluble — combining it with olive oil significantly increases its absorption by the body.
★ Raw honey: Contains enzymes, antioxidants, and antimicrobial compounds. Unlike refined sugar, it has a lower glycaemic impact.
