Fresh ginger turmeric lemonade recipe made with whole foods: fresh ginger and turmeric root and a touch of black peppercorns to boost the absorption of curcumin and stimulate the taste buds.
I’ve experimented with a few variations of this recipe and finally decided this is the best way to make it and get the most benefits.
Vegan. Gluten-Free. Oil-Free.
Initially I started making it for the Batman so he can stop complaining about inflammation after his workouts. But then I discovered how delicious and refreshing it really is and I’ve been making it on a regular basis. There’s always a bottle or big pitcher of it sitting in our overstuffed fridge now.
Try experimenting with some blackberries, raspberries, blood oranges and even adding a jalapeño into the mix.
