Start by laying out all your ingredients on the countertop. Having everything in sight helps streamline the process. Plus, it gives you a sneak peek of the vibrant colors you'll be working with — a great start!

If you're using fresh turmeric root, chop it finely. The earthy flavor of turmeric needs to be adequately released, so don’t rush this step. If ground turmeric is your go-to, you can skip to the next step, but fresh turmeric is certainly worth it.

In a mixing bowl, combine the chopped turmeric, lemon juice, grated ginger, and apple cider vinegar. Stir well; you want those beautiful flavors to start mingling right away. The brightness of the lemon complements the tartness of the vinegar seamlessly.

Now, if sweetness is your thing, drizzle in the raw honey. Mix it until it dissolves completely — no one likes honey lumps! If the drink is vibrant yet still on the tart side, the honey will balance it delightfully.

Pour the purified water into the mixture. This dilutes the strong flavors, creating a more drinkable concoction. Give it a good stir — think of it as encouraging those flavors to become best buds.

Here comes the fun part: add the cayenne pepper and cinnamon. Just a pinch of cayenne adds a unique kick. The cinnamon complements the drink’s profile beautifully, giving it warmth that lingers just enough.

For an elevated touch, add the sprig of rosemary as a garnish. Its herbal aroma complements the drink, making it visually appealing too.

Take a small sip. Is it too tart? Consider adding more honey. Too sweet? A splash more vinegar could do the trick. Adjust until you find your magic ratio.

You can serve the drink chilled over ice or warm it slightly. If you choose the latter, avoid boiling to preserve the benefits of the ACV.

Take a step back and appreciate your masterpiece. Sip it slowly, feeling the invigorating properties wash over you.
