The drink in the photo appears to be made with purple cabbage, which gives it that deep violet color. One important note: calling it “natural morphine” is misleading—purple cabbage is nutritious, but there is no good evidence that this drink acts like morphine or removes muscle, joint, or rheumatic pain.
Ingredients
- ½ small head purple cabbage, chopped
- 4 cups water
- 1 lemon, juiced
- 1 small piece fresh ginger, peeled
- 1–2 tbsp honey, optional
- A few fresh mint leaves, optional
