Jamu Juice (Turmeric Ginger Drink)

Jamu Juice is a turmeric and ginger beverage blended with coconut water, honey, lemon juice, and an optional pinch of black pepper. The drink is simmered to intensify flavors and then strained for a smooth, refreshing liquid with a warming, slightly spicy, and citrusy character. It can be served warm or chilled as a soothing drink with a mildly bitter-sweet profile.

Ingredients

  • 1 cup Turmeric roughly chopped, fresh
  • 1 (2-inch piece) ginger fresh, roughly chopped
  • 4 cups coconut water
  • 1 lemon juiced (about 3 tablespoons juice)
  • 2 tablespoons honey or other sweetener
  • ½ black pepper pinch; optional

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  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

  • Use fresh turmeric and ginger thoroughly washed; skin can be left on or peeled based on preference.
  • Powdered turmeric can replace fresh at a ratio of 1/3 cup powder to 1 cup fresh turmeric.
  • Coconut water adds electrolytes; plain water can be used as an alternative.
  • Clean equipment promptly to prevent turmeric staining.
  • The drink can be stored chilled and enjoyed warm or cold.
  • Use suitable storage containers such as glass bottles or jars for refrigeration.
