Raw Recipes: Fresh Turmeric Juice

Written by Fiona on July 5, 2010 – -

A super yummy Aruyvedic drink to help your liver, support immune system and is great for keeping a singer’s throat soothed. I first tried this drink at Indus restaurant in Bali, and it blew my mind!!! As soon as we came home I recreated it in my kitchen…

turmeric-juice

Ingredients:

- 5 pieces of fresh turmeric root, washed
- 1 lemon
- warm water
- 2 tablespoon honey
- cold water

Preparation:

Put the turmeric root, and the the lemon through your juicer, you can put the pulp back a second and maybe even a third time to get all the goodness out.

Leave the juicer running and pour about 1/2 cup warm water through.

Mix in the honey. If you don’t want to use honey, either swap the lemon for an orange or use a different sweetener (it wont be as medicinal, but it will be sweeter…)

Top up with 1-2 cups cold water and store in fridge (keeps for a few days).

Serve over ice in short glasses. Turmeric also goes really well with freshly juiced pineapple and gives you a nice natural buzzy feeling..

    Wow… I like the sound of this drink. Candida has caused me to have problems with my liver and gallbladder. This might help me keep them healthy.

    By the way, I am having an Apron Giveaway and would love for you to enter. Terry

    I have also had this in Bali and want to try it. You say 5 pieces of the root could you perhaps give an idea of that on inches? Also would grated be OK

    I don’t have a juicer, but I do have a vitamix. Can I make this in my vitamix? Is it necessary to separate the fiber from the juice, or do you think it’s okay to consume it all together in a “juice” form like what can be made in a high speed blender??

    Also, is it okay to drink this while breastfeeding a 2 1/2 year young child?

    Laura,
    I think it would be totally fine to leave the fibre in. I recently fell in love with putting whole chunks of turmeric root into green smoothies, especially ones with aloe and cacao. and YES, its okay to drink while breastfeeding, ideal actually. It helps with your own liver function and also some of the healing benefits of the turmeric will be transferred to your nursling through your milk. I also used to drink this a lot to combat morning sickness (it worked!)

    you can use any kind of oxyclean product and let your juicer parts soak in warm water with the oxyclean for over an hour and it will remove staining from high carotene colored vegetables!
