Prep your fresh ingredients. Peel garlic and chop roughly. Cut ginger and turmeric root roughly too. (if you don't have turmeric root, use turmeric spice powder).
Heat up a small soup pot with the water and broth. Keep over medium heat setting.
Add the cut ginger, garlic, and turmeric.
Add in the remaining spices. The bay leaf, black pepper, salt, nutmeg, sage, and juniper berries.
Stir in cilantro too if you choose to add it. Otherwise, skip this step.
Keep simmering over a medium to low heat setting. Cover and cook slowly for about 12-15 minutes.
When it's done infusing, pour and mix in lime/lemon juice.
Take from the heat, strain soup with a large strainer.
Pour soup back to heat or serve hot in a bowl.
