Prepare fresh ginger in the same manner as you would the turmeric. Peel it with a spoon. Then, grate in on a Microplane or box grater. Cinnamon sticks can be added whole. Or, for a stronger flavor, you can grind them in mortar and pestle or a clean coffee grinder. Black pepper can be added whole or ground. Cayenne pepper can be added for some extra kick and a small metabolism boost.
