Ingredients
Scale
- 3 large lemons, juiced (approximately 3/4 cup juice)
- 2-inch piece fresh ginger, peeled and chopped
- 2-inch piece fresh turmeric, peeled and chopped, or 1 teaspoon ground turmeric
- 1/8 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
- 1 cup filtered water
- 1 to 2 tablespoons honey or maple syrup, optional
Instructions
- In a blender, combine lemon juice, chopped ginger, chopped turmeric or ground turmeric, filtered water, freshly ground black pepper, and sweetener if using.
- Pulse first to break down the ginger and turmeric, then blend on high until everything looks glossy and well combined.
- Pass the blended mixture through a fine-mesh sieve or cheesecloth into a bowl to remove pulp and achieve a clear liquid.

- Pop out 2 cubes per serving. Dissolve in warm water, incorporate into smoothies, or consume as a concentrated wellness shot.
