Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 50 grams Fresh ginger root
- 1 whole Lemon
- 1 whole Orange
- 1 teaspoon Turmeric powder
- 1 tablespoon Honey
- 0.5 teaspoon Cayenne pepper

Instructions
Peel the ginger root and cut it into small pieces to make blending easier.

In a blender, add the ginger pieces, lemon juice, orange juice, turmeric powder, honey, cayenne pepper, and water. Blend until smooth.
Strain the mixture through a fine-mesh sieve or cheesecloth into a clean bowl to collect the liquid, pressing down with the back of a spoon to extract as much juice as possible.
