Ingredients
  

  • 2-inch piece of fresh ginger, peeled (or scrubbed if organic)
  • 1 large lemon, peeled and seeded
  • 1 crisp apple (such as Honeycrisp or Granny Smith), cored
  • 1 small orange, peeled (optional for extra sweetness)
  • 1 small carrot, peeled (optional for color and beta-carotene)
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground turmeric or 1-inch fresh turmeric root
  • Pinch of black pepper (enhances turmeric absorption)
  • 1–1.5 cups cold water (if using a blender)
  • Ice cubes (optional, for serving)
  • Honey or maple syrup, to taste (optional)

Method
 

  1. Prep your produce. Rinse everything well. Peel the ginger and lemon. Core the apple. Peel the orange and carrot if using. Cut everything into chunks.
  2. If using a juicer: Run ginger, lemon, apple, orange, and carrot through the juicer. Stir in turmeric and a pinch of black pepper. Taste and adjust with honey if you like.
  3. If using a blender: Add ginger, lemon, apple, orange, carrot, turmeric, black pepper, and 1 cup water. Blend on high until very smooth. If it’s too thick, add more water.
  4. Strain for a smooth juice. Pour the blended mixture through a fine-mesh strainer or nut milk bag into a jug. Press with a spoon to extract as much liquid as possible. Compost or save the pulp for smoothies or baking.
  5. Chill and serve. Pour over ice if you like a colder drink. Taste and add a drizzle of honey or maple syrup if you prefer it sweeter. Serve immediately for the brightest flavor.
