Ingredients

  • 4 cups filtered water
  • 2-3 cups peeled + chopped ginger root (Depending on the amount of Ginger flavor desired)
  • 1 ½ cups freshly-squeezed lemon juice (That's about 9-10 large lemons)
  • 2 cups pineapple juice (See Notes)
  • ½ cup Agave + more if needed!  (See Notes)
  • 1 ½ tsps turmeric powder (See Notes)
  • teaspoon black pepper

OPTIONAL GARNISH:

  • Crushed ice
  • Chopped or sliced pineapples
  • Fresh mint leaves

Instructions

BOIL THE GINGER + COOL:

  • In a large pot over medium-high heat, add water and let it begin to boil. Once boiling, add the ginger roots and boil for 10 minutes.
  • After the 10 minute mark, turn off the heat and cover the mixture with a pot cover, allowing everything to steep for about 10-15 minutes to ensure that flavors are fully infused and potent.
  • Once fully steeped, add in the sweetener, turmeric, and black pepper, whisking until well incorporated and dissolved.

TO MAKE THE LEMONADE:

  • In a large pitcher, add the ginger-turmeric mixture followed by the freshly-squeezed lemon juice and pineapple juice, stirring everything together until well combined.
  • To serve—add the crushed ice into prepared glass(es), followed by pineapple ginger turmeric lemonade and add diced pineapple and mint as garnish, if desired.
  • Sip and enjoy!

Notes

  • PINEAPPLE: If you decide not to use store-bought pineapple juice, you can always use 2 cups of fresh pineapple chunks and them to blender along with freshly steeped ginger-turmeric mixture. Blend for 1-2 minutes until smooth and pineapples are fully broken down. Continue recipe.
  • SWEETENER: You can always use ‘honey’, pure cane sugar, or maple syrup instead of using Agave. This makes for a more subtle sweet taste. For Vegan honey option—Bee Free Honee, click link.
  • TURMERIC: For health benefits of using turmeric, ensuring that it is paired with black pepper, helps to aid in curcumin absorption.
  • SWEETNESS: Add more Agave (or other sweetener) for more sweetness if needed, 1 tablespoon at a time.
  • STORAGE: Keep any leftovers in the refrigerator, tightly covered in your pitcher or in a sealed mason jar. Best if consumed within a few days (around 4-5 days).
