Method
 

Blender Method
  1. Wash and coarsely chop the ginger and turmeric. Juice the lemons to get about 1/2 cup of juice.
  2. Add chopped ginger, turmeric, lemon juice, water, and optional cayenne/sweetener to a high-speed blender. Blend on high for 1-2 minutes until smooth.
  3. Pour the mixture through a fine-mesh strainer or cheesecloth set over a bowl. Squeeze the pulp firmly to extract all the juice.
  4. Transfer the juice into airtight bottles and refrigerate or freeze.
Juicer Method
  1. Wash produce and chop it to fit your juicer's chute. Feed the ginger, turmeric, and lemons through the juicer.
  2. Stir the collected juice to combine. Add any optional sweeteners or spices. Pour into bottles and store.

Notes

Wear gloves when handling fresh turmeric to avoid staining your hands. For a less intense flavor, you can dilute the shot with a bit of water or apple juice. The leftover pulp can be frozen and added to smoothies.
