Step 1: Heat the Base
In a small saucepan, bring the water or vegetable broth to a gentle simmer over medium heat. Do not boil aggressively.
Step 2: Add Ginger (and Garlic)
Add the grated ginger (and garlic if using). Simmer for 3–5 minutes to release their healing compounds.
Step 3: Lower the Heat
Turn the heat to low. This is important—miso should never be boiled, or it loses its beneficial probiotics.
Step 4: Dissolve the Miso
In a small bowl, mix the miso paste with a few tablespoons of the hot broth until smooth.
Pour it back into the pot and gently stir.
Step 5: Add Lemon & Extras
Stir in lemon juice, turmeric, sesame oil, and black pepper. Taste and adjust—more lemon for brightness, more miso for depth.
Step 6: Serve Warm
Pour into mugs or bowls. Add optional toppings if desired and sip slowly.
