[Nat Quinn]

 

Ingredients

• 1 cup fresh lemon juice (from about 4 lemons)

• ½ cup chopped fresh ginger (about 9 inches; see Tip)

• 2 tablespoons chopped fresh turmeric (about 3 inches) or 2 teaspoons ground turmeric

• 3 tablespoons honey

• 1 tablespoon water

• ⅛ teaspoon cracked black pepper

Directions

1. Combine lemon juice, ginger, turmeric, honey, water and pepper in a blender; process until smooth, 30 seconds to 1 minute.

   

    

2. Strain the juice through a fine-mesh strainer into a large measuring cup, pressing solids with a spoon to extract juice; you should have about 1 cup of juice. Discard solids.

   

    

3. Evenly pour the juice into a 9-ounce silicone ice cube tray. Freeze until solid, at least 1 hour.

   

    

4. To make 1 serving: Bring 8 ounces water to a boil. Place 1 frozen cube in a mug or heatproof glass; add the hot water. Serve immediately.

   

    

Equipment

9-oz. silicone ice cube tray

Tip

Using peeled or unpeeled ginger is up to your preferences. Unpeeled ginger will yield a slightly pulpier drink, which can be skimmed off, if desired.
