Notes

  • The turmeric will stain your hands and utensils, I recommend using gloves.
  • If not consuming immediately, store in an airtight jar in the refrigerator.
  • We used a high powered blender like a Vitamix for this. If you don’t have a high powered blender, we suggest that you pour your juice though a cheese cloth or milk strainer bag to remove any pulp.
