Equipment

Ingredients

  • 2 Oranges
  • 2 Lemons
  • 4 Pieces Turmeric 2 inches each
  • 2 Pieces Ginger 2 inches each

Instructions

Juicer Method

  • Wash the ginger and turmeric roots thoroughly.
  • Remove the peels of the oranges and lemons. You can do this by cutting the “butts” off each side and then placing the citrus flat on on peeled bottom. Then cut downward along the skin to remove as much peel and as little flesh as possible.
  • Start juicer at Low and add the peeled lemons.
  • Switch the juicer setting to Turbo once the lemons are juiced, and add the orange pieces, turmeric and ginger.
  • Pour into airtight container and/or serve immediately as a turmeric shot (50mL or ~2 OZ) or juice. If storing in airtight container, place container in fridge for up to 1 week.

Blender Method

  • Remove the peels of the ginger and turmeric roots. Cut both ginger and turmeric roots into ½” chunks and leave to the side. (Be careful of turmeric stains. When handling, use gloves or it may stain your fingers. Avoid using a white cutting board as well)
  • Cut the oranges and lemons in half and using your hands or a citrus juicer, squeeze the juice directly into the blender. Make sure to remove any lemon seeds that drop in. Alternatively you can remove the peels of the oranges and lemons and add to the blender to blend first before adding the ginger and turmeric.
  • Add the chopped ginger and turmeric roots into the blender with the freshly squeezed lemon and orange juice.
  • Blend until smooth.
  • Strain into an airtight container. You can also use a nut milk cloth or cheesecloth to strain. Press on the pulp with a spoon, or squeeze (use gloves). Discard pulp or reserve to reuse.
  • Pour into airtight container and/or serve immediately as a turmeric shot or juice. If storing in airtight container, place container in fridge for up to 1 week.

Notes

NOTE: turmeric can dye your hands, clothes, counter, etc. When handling this juice, it’s possible it will lightly stain your fingers, hands or fingernails. For safety against staining your countertop or prep station, handle with care and make sure to place on top of a paper towel or napkin. The whole turmeric should not stain, but better to be safe than sorry!
This recipe makes about 1-week of turmeric shots. Store the juice in an airtight container or mason jar in the fridge and pour into shot glasses or cups when ready to take it. Fresh juice is always at its best when consumed immediately or within a few hours.
Freeze fresh juice in an ice cube maker. When frozen into cubes, remove from the ice cube mold and place in an airtight ziplock or freezer bag.
