Instructions

  1. Slice. Slice the turmeric and ginger into thin disks. Feel free to leave the skin on if it's been thoroughly washed.
  2. Blend. Add the turmeric, ginger, black pepper and coconut water into a blender. Blend on high speed for about a minute, until it's a smooth mixture.
  3. Boil. Pour the mixture into a pot and bring it to a boil. Reduce the heat to low and let it simmer for 20 minutes. Then add the lemon juice and honey, and give everything a good stir.
  4. Strain and enjoy. Strain the mixture through a fine mesh sieve, nut milk bag or muslin cloth. Then pour into a glass bottle or jar and refrigerate. Enjoy chilled or warm.

Notes

  • If you like my storage containers, they're these juice jars and glass bottle.
  • While I think this recipe is best with fresh turmeric, you can always try it with powdered turmeric. Usually ⅓ cup of powdered turmeric equals 1 cup of fresh turmeric.
  • You can peel or not peel the turmeric and ginger, it's up to you. But if you do keep the skin on make sure to rinse and clean your fresh turmeric and ginger very well with hot water.
  • For the liquid base, you can use regular water instead of coconut water. But I've chosen to use coconut water to add extra electrolytes.
  • Be mindful that turmeric can stain! So wash your blender and chopping board immediately after using.
