Ingredients

ICE CUBES:

  • 2 cps filtered water
  • 1 ounce ginger root, peeled + chopped
  • 1 orange, freshly-squeezed
  • Skin peel of an orange, chopped into small pieces
  • ½ cup natural sweetener (You can use honey or maple syrup)
  • 2 lemons, freshly-squeezed
  • 1 teaspoon turmeric powder
  • ½ teaspoon black pepper

TEA:

  • Hot boiling water
  • 2 Citrus Ginger Turmeric Ice Cubes (If making smaller ice cubes, you can use twice as much per tea)

Instructions

BLEND EVERYTHING TOGETHER:

  • In a high-powered blender, add the water, chopped ginger root, orange juice, lemon juice, turmeric, black pepper, and sweetener, blending until smooth and fully broken down, about 1-2 minutes.

TO MAKE THE ICE CUBES:

  • Pour the blended mixture into ice cube molds, add the small pieces of orange peels to each ice cube mold, and freeze until solid, about 5 hours (minimum), depending on size.

TO MAKE THE TEA:

  • In your favorite mug, add 2 ice cubes and top with hot boiling water. NOTE: You can add additional sweetener, if desired.
  • Sip and enjoy!

Notes

  • ADDITIONAL BOOST: To add a boost to make these ice cubes more powerful, you can add cayenne pepper or apple cider vinegar to the mix (1 teaspoon of either)!
