Warming Lamugine Recipe

Lamugine (also known as lamojin) is a refreshing drink which is drank in the Northern part of Ghana. It is prepared with rice water, ginger, lime and local spices like cloves, grains of selim etc. It is usually consumed cold with ice-cubes. I have adapted my lamugine recipe to suit the cold and wintry weather at this time of the year in UK.

Warming, hot lamugine is not only delicious, it is full of, immune boosting, anti-inflammatory properties of ginger and the added spices. It is great for warming up on a cold day or if you’ve just had a bit too much to eat.
