In recent years, turmeric and ginger have gained widespread attention for their incredible health benefits, particularly their anti-inflammatory properties. Both of these root-based superfoods have been used for centuries in traditional medicine to support overall well-being, ease digestive issues, and reduce inflammation. When combined into a potent juice, turmeric and ginger work synergistically to create a powerful elixir that can enhance your health in numerous ways. In this article, we’ll explore the benefits of turmeric and ginger juice, show you how to make it at home, and share tips on how to incorporate it into your daily routine for optimal health.
Ingredients:
1-inch piece of fresh turmeric root
1-inch piece of fresh ginger root
1 tablespoon of fresh lemon juice
1 teaspoon of honey (optional)
1 cup of cold water or coconut water
Pinch of black pepper (optional, enhances turmeric absorption)
Instructions:
Prepare the Roots:
Peel the fresh turmeric and ginger roots using a vegetable peeler or a spoon to scrape off the skin. Be careful when handling turmeric, as it can stain your hands or countertops. You may want to wear gloves or use a paper towel to wipe your hands afterward.
Juicing:
Cut the turmeric and ginger into small pieces and place them into a juicer. If you don’t have a juicer, you can blend the pieces with a cup of water or coconut water to make a smooth mixture.
Strain (if needed):
If you used a blender, strain the juice using a fine mesh sieve or cheesecloth to remove the pulp, leaving behind the smooth, golden liquid.
