Golden Lemonade
There is no doubt turmeric is good for us and the golden color it emanates makes it fun to drink. However, given that turmeric’s earthy flavor is only good in small doses, it’s the flavor of ginger that really comes through in this drink. Use it as a base for a cocktail by adding your favorite spirit.

Cook Time
10 Minutes
Serves
2
Directions
Ginger Syrup:
Step 1
Purée whole ginger pieces with skin on.
Step 2
Strain the pureed ginger through a fine mesh strainer. To get the most amount of juice, use the back of a spoon to push the puree through the strainer. Keep leftover ginger pulp in the fridge to be used for cooking!
Step 3
Put sugar and ginger juice in an air tight container (ex: quart container). Shake it vigorously until blended every 10 to 15 minutes for 1 to 2 hours. Feel free to do it more often and longer if necessary because this is how the syrup is bonded. (Note: this syrup is not heated or boiled.)
Step 4
Store in refrigerator and shake before usage.
Lemonade:
Step 1
Measure each ingredient and put them in the shaker with ice. Shake till shaker feels icy. Give a quick taste to see if needs more or less ice/sugar/lemon juice.
Step 2
No need to strain. Pour the lemonade into two tall glasses with the ice.
Step 3
Garnish with lime wheel and/or candied ginger.
Notes & Variations
- Fresh squeezed citrus in shaken drinks is preferred.
- Want to make it a limeade? Switch out the lemons for limes.
- Not sure how to puree ginger? Roughly chop some ginger and put in blender, add some water and blend till smooth.
- Use left over ginger syrup in other drinks as an alternate sugar option. For example, in the morning make a tea with fresh squeezed lemon, ginger syrup, mint leaves, and hot water.
- Don’t like turmeric? Try moringa or hibiscus powder instead.
