Ingredients

  • 2 carrots, washed, peeled and diced
  • 2 oranges, peeled and roughly chopped
  • 2 cups coconut water, can substitute plain water if coconut water is not available
  • 2 tablespoons chopped fresh turmeric*
  • 2 tablespoons chopped fresh ginger*
  • 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
  • 1/8 teaspoon cayenne pepper
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
  • 2 teaspoons virgin coconut oil

Instructions

  • Place all of the ingredients except for the apple cider vinegar and coconut oil in a high-speed blender and blend until smooth.
  • If you want to serve it warm, transfer the tonic to a medium saucepan and bring to a simmer, then take off the heat (do not boil, as it can reduce the available nutrients in turmeric). If you prefer it served cold, skip this step.
  • Carefully pour the tonic over a fine mesh strainer into a bowl, and squeeze out as much liquid as you can, then discard the pulp. Stir in the apple cider vinegar and coconut oil and then divide 2 or 3 mugs.

Notes

* If you have a powerful blender, you don’t have to grate the turmeric and ginger – you can simply roughly chop them and let the blender take care of the rest.
