The combination of ginger and turmeric is soothing and has healing properties. Often times, I make turmeric latte in winters but this time I innovated summer ginger turmeric lemonade.

It was so refreshing with so much health benefits. Moreover, it’s a hydrating beverage and its so good to for after sport activity.

What is a Lemonade

Originally, it is simply a sweetened lemon juice beverage where whole lemons are firstly blended and mixed with sugar syrup and water. It’s a popular North American beverage for all ages.

Here, I made a variation by adding fresh spices to it. This way its more of a detoxing drink and so perfect for all ages.

Turmeric is a common ingredient in any Indian recipe and is commonly known as haldi. But the more powerful way to use it the raw turmeric or root turmeric in any form. It has healing properties and is the best antioxidant thereby helping in reducing inflammation. Also, helps protect from many viruses and reduces infections.

Ingredients for turmeric ginger lemonade recipe

Maple syrup
Root ginger
Water
Root turmeric
Lemon

I used only 5 ingredients to make this delicious and satisfying turmeric and ginger drink.

Ingredient notes:

Maple syrup – I like to use maple syrup for my lemonade because it gives a nice caramelized flavor and also its less processed as compared to the regular white sugar.

Ginger – I used root ginger with its skin on for a stronger flavor and aroma.

Turmeric – this is the best part. The color of this paleo turmeric drink will vary depending on the quantity you use but make sure to peel its skin before using.

Lemon – I like to squeeze fresh lemon here in this recipe because this brings a nice aromatic citrus flavor.

Turmeric Ginger Lemonade FAQs

This taste best when served chilled. It can be refrigerated for 3-4 days in a glass pitcher.

Can I drink it every day?

Yes, it has healing properties and made with pure and healthy ingredients. I would recommend hydrating with this turmeric lemonade every day to boosts immunity.

Can ginger and turmeric be taken together?

Absolutely. To fight cold and cough usually ginger and turmeric are grated together and mixed with raw honey. For vegan option, I mix it with maple syrup or date syrup. So, therefore, ginger and turmeric are a great combination with medicinal properties.

Ingredients

  • 1/4 cup maple syrup
  • 1/2 inch root ginger
  • 1 1/2 cups water
  • 1/4 – 1/2 inch root turmeric (skin peeled)
  • 1 large lemon

Instructions

  • In a saucepan, combine maple syrup and grate ginger in it. (Make sure to grate it with its skin). Cook at high flame for 2-3 minutes by continuously whisking it. Turn it off and remove from the flame. Let it cool at room temperature.
  • In a blender combine water and turmeric. Blend it smooth.
  • Place a strainer in a bowl or a pitcher and strain maple syrup mixture first. Then strain blended turmeric through the same strainer into the same bowl. Stir it making sure that all the liquid is well strained. Discard the leftover extra fiber from the strainer.
  • Squeeze lemon juice into the bowl/pitcher and stir well. Taste test at this stage. You may squeeze some more lemon juice in it for a strong sour flavor. Fill ¾ of the serving glasses with crushed ice and pour the lemonade. Garnish with sliced lemons and mint leaves. Enjoy!

Notes

  • You may make this lemonade in a glass jar or pitcher and refrigerate for 3-4 days. When ready fill the glasses with crushed ice and pour and garnish.
  • We personally like the flavor of spices and it’s a bit strong in taste here. If you want softer taste then you may use ¼ inch ginger and ¼ inch turmeric. The color of the lemonade may be little lighter. But if you like the strong taste then the above measurements are absolutely delish.
  • This lemonade is perfectly balanced with sweet and sour taste but if you like your lemonade on a sour taste then feel free to adjust it by adding more lemon juice as per taste.
  • Feel free to double the quantity of this recipe and refrigerate.
  • The serving size and its nutritional value will vary depending on the size of your serving glass.
