Ingredients Method

Ingredients
  

  • Fresh turmeric root (or ground turmeric)
  • Fresh ginger root
  • Fresh lemons
  • Black pepper (freshly ground if possible)
  • Raw honey or maple syrup (optional)
  • Filtered water or coconut water
  • Sea salt (a pinch, optional)

Method
 

  1. Prep the produce: Rinse turmeric and ginger. No need to peel if they’re fresh and clean; just scrub well. Roll the lemons on the counter to release more juice.
  2. Juicer method: Run turmeric, ginger, and peeled lemons through a juicer. Add water to dilute to taste.
  3. Blender method: Add 1 cup water, 1–1.5 inches fresh turmeric, 1 inch fresh ginger, and the juice of 2 lemons to a blender. Blend until smooth, then strain through a fine sieve or nut milk bag. Add more water to taste.
  4. Season: Stir in a pinch of black pepper to boost curcumin absorption and a small pinch of sea salt to enhance flavor. Sweeten with 1–2 teaspoons honey if you like.
  5. Adjust: Taste and tweak. More lemon for brightness, more water to soften the heat, or a touch more honey if it’s too sharp.
  6. Serve: Pour over ice for a refreshing tonic, or gently warm on the stove (do not boil) for a cozy, soothing drink.
