Anti-Inflammatory Lemon Turmeric Tonic

Anti-Inflammatory Lemon Turmeric Tonic

Makes 4 servings

Ingredients

• 4" fresh turmeric root (or 2 teaspoons dried turmeric)
• 3" fresh ginger root
• Juice of 2 organic lemons
• 1/4 teaspoon fresh ground pepper
• 4 cups coconut water
• Optional: Sweetener of your choice like agave nectar or raw honey

Instructions

1. Cover your working area with a paper towel or parchment and scrape the skin off the turmeric using a spoon. Point the top of the spoon on the top of the root and just move gently down and you'll see how easily the skin comes off. Use gloves or another towel to prevent your hands from getting stained. The spoon will also work to also take the skin off the ginger.
2. Place the turmeric, ginger, lemon juice, pepper and water in a high speed blender and blend until combined. Taste and add sweetener if desired. Keep refrigerated.
