Turmeric Lemonade

TURMERIC- THE GOLDEN DRINK

Turmeric supplements are an in-thing now in the health stores after people have acknowledged the medicinal benefits of this golden root.

At LC we are orthodox in some of our ways and still prefer to consume this in an old fashioned way - a refreshing iced, minty lemonade with a splash of apple cider vinegar.

We like to call it as the Golden drink- less for its yellow pigment and more for its golden benefits. Here is the recipe to make one.

FRESH TURMERIC LEMONADE

Preparation Time: 5 mins
Waiting Time: 10 mins
Total Time: 15 mins
Makes: 2 servings

INGREDIENTS: 
1” fresh turmeric, grated or 1/4th tsp turmeric powder
2 cups of water
1 tbsp lemon juice
1 tsp apple cider vinegar
4 ice cubes
1 sprig of mint leaves

DIRECTIONS:
Step 1: Take water in any glass container and add the grated turmeric and leave it for 5 minutes to infuse the turmeric into the water.
If you have a tea leaf infuser spoon; it saves a step from straining the grated turmeric later.

Step 2: Add apple cider vinegar and splash it with lemon juice.

Step 3: Divide the drink into two serving glasses and add 2 ice cubes into each glass.

Step 4: Now, spruce up the drink with mint leaves and serve. Enjoy!

SERVING VARIATIONS:

Notes :

1) Please wear kitchen gloves if using fresh root turmeric-It stains the surfaces heavily.

2) This drink can be easily brewed into a steamy, herby tea and enjoyed as a soothing warm cup on a cold day.
