REVIVE: Rhodiola, Ginseng, and Ashwagandha Energy Elixir
If you are looking for a natural energy boost to help you power through your day, this REVIVE Rhodiola, Ginseng, and Ashwagandha Energy Elixir is the perfect choice. It is a combination of natural herbs that have been used for centuries to promote energy and improve overall health. With a base of filtered water, a bit of lemon, and ginger for a kick, this elixir is a quick and easy way to get your day started on the right foot. The honey adds a touch of sweetness to counterbalance the boldness of the other ingredients. Depending on your personal taste, you can adjust the ratios of the four herbs. For a stronger morning kick, add an extra half-teaspoon of rhodiola or ashwagandha. To tamp the power down a bit, reduce the amounts to a quarter-teaspoon each. If you prefer a sweeter elixir, add an extra half-teaspoon of honey. Or, if you want a stronger ginger flavor, up the measurement to a full inch of grated ginger. And of course, if you want to make a bigger batch, simply double or triple the recipe. It is also a great way to use up any extra herbs or spices that you have on hand.
