Ingredients
  

Main
  • 1 inch fresh turmeric root peeled and sliced
  • 3 fresh oranges halved for juicing
  • 1 lemon juiced
  • 1 inch fresh ginger root peeled and sliced
  • 1 cup filtered water
  • 1/2 teaspoon raw honey or maple syrup optional
  • Pinch of black pepper freshly ground
  • Pinch of sea salt

Equipment

  • Citrus juicer or manual juicing tool
  • Small saucepan or pot
  • Stirring spoon
  • Fine mesh strainer
  • Measuring spoons and cups
  • Glasses for serving
  • Blender (optional)

Method
 

  1. Wash turmeric root, ginger, oranges, and lemon under cold running water; peel the turmeric and ginger to ensure a smooth juice.
  2. Cut the oranges in half and juice them using a juicer to yield about 1 cup of fresh orange juice; juice the lemon separately.
  3. Slice the peeled turmeric and ginger into thin 1/4-inch slices to maximize infusion.
  4. Pour 1 cup of filtered water into a small saucepan and bring to a gentle simmer over medium heat (about 180°F) for 2 minutes.
  5. Add the turmeric and ginger slices to the simmering water and steep for 2 minutes to extract flavors and compounds.
  6. Remove the pan from heat and stir in the fresh orange juice and lemon juice to cool slightly and enhance nutrient absorption.
  7. Season the mixture with a pinch of black pepper, a pinch of sea salt, and add honey or maple syrup if using; stir until combined.
  8. Strain the juice through a fine mesh strainer into serving glasses to remove any bits of turmeric and ginger.
  9. Serve the juice immediately while warm, or chill in the refrigerator for up to 3 days for a refreshing cold drink.
