Ingredients:
4 medium carrots, peeled
1-inch piece of fresh ginger, peeled
1-inch piece of fresh turmeric root, peeled (or 1 teaspoon turmeric powder)
1 apple (for natural sweetness, optional)
Juice of half a lemon
1/2 cup of cold water or coconut water
A pinch of black pepper (to enhance turmeric absorption)
Ice cubes (optional, for a chilled drink)
Instructions:
Prepare the ingredients: Begin by peeling and chopping the carrots, ginger, and turmeric root. If you're using fresh turmeric, make sure to handle it with care as it can stain hands and surfaces.
Juicing: Place the chopped carrots, ginger, turmeric, and apple (if using) into a juicer. If you don't have a juicer, you can blend the ingredients in a high-speed blender with the cold water or coconut water and then strain it through a fine mesh sieve or cheesecloth to remove the pulp.
Add lemon and pepper: Once juiced, pour the liquid into a glass and squeeze in the fresh lemon juice. Stir in a pinch of black pepper to maximize turmeric absorption.
Serve: Give the juice a final stir, add ice cubes if desired, and enjoy immediately for the best taste and nutritional value.
Tips for Serving and Storing:
Serving: This juice is best served fresh, as the nutrients can degrade over time. For an extra boost, consider adding a few fresh mint leaves or a dash of cayenne pepper for a spicy kick.
Storing: If you must store the juice, keep it in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 24 hours. However, it’s recommended to consume it as soon as possible to retain maximum health benefits.
Chill before serving: If you like your juice cold, refrigerate it before serving, or add a few ice cubes for a refreshing drink.
