Think of this drink like a super-charged lemonade.
The look might actually remind you more of orange juice, and that's thanks to the turmeric. The rhizome looks like ginger on the outside, but slice into it and you'll see its bright orange flesh.
Since we will be leaving the peels on the lemons, be sure to use organic lemons. (Yes, we will be blending up the seeds and all!)
Ingredients
- a pinky finger's length of turmeric root, leave the skin on (or 2 teaspoons turmeric powder)
- 3 quarter-sized pieces of ginger
- 2 lemons, sliced into 12 pieces, peels on
- 1/4 cup honey
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 cups ice
- water
Instructions
- Combine ingredients in a high-powered blender. Fill with enough water to reach just above the ice.
- Let the blender run for 30 seconds, or until the drink is blended and smooth. Enjoy immediately.
