Equipment

Blender
Straining tools such as nut milk bag or cheese cloth

Ingredients

4 navel oranges peeled
1 lemon peeled
¼ cup fresh turmeric root cleaned and sliced, no need to peel
¼ cup fresh ginger root cleaned and sliced, no need to peel
1 cup water or more if desired
⅛ tsp ground black pepper to enhance turmeric absorption
dash of cayenne pepper optional
2 tbsp maple syrup or other sweetener optional
crushed ice for serving, optional

Instructions

To a blender, add all the ingredients (except for the ice) and blend for about 30 seconds or until mostly smooth.
Then, using a nut milk bag or cheesecloth, strain the juice (the turmeric will stain the fabric). Discard the pulp and transfer the juice to a large glass container (or individual shot glasses). Chill in the fridge before serving, if possible.
To serve, pour the juice into a glass filled with ice cube (or crushed).

Notes

I highly recommend using fresh turmeric root to make this juice. You can find it in most grocery stores (or look in health or Asian groceries). If you really cannot find fresh turmeric, then try making the juice with about 1 tablespoon of dried turmeric powder and adjust the amount depending on your personal taste.
Store the juice in an airtight glass container for up to 5 days in the fridge.
