How to Make the Best Turmeric Lemonade
This vibrant turmeric lemonade is the perfect summer refresher that delivers both incredible flavor and impressive health benefits. Unlike traditional lemonade loaded with refined sugar, this recipe uses fresh apple juice as a natural sweetener, creating a drink that’s as nourishing as it is delicious.
The combination of fresh turmeric, ginger, and lemon creates a beautifully balanced beverage with layers of flavor. The turmeric adds an earthy, slightly peppery note while the ginger provides a warming kick that tingles on the tongue. Fresh lemon juice ties everything together with its bright, citrusy zing. The apple juice rounds out the tartness and adds a subtle sweetness.
Whether you’re looking for a refreshing drink on a hot day or want to incorporate more anti-inflammatory ingredients into your diet, this turmeric lemonade has you covered. Serve it over ice, add some sparkling water for fizz, or even spike it with your favorite spirit for a unique cocktail twist.

Instructions
Turmeric Lemonade
- Using a juicer, juice the apples and place in a large 2 quart mason jar or large pitcher. Alternatively you can use fresh apple cider with no sugar added.
- Juice the turmeric root, starting off conservatively, then juice ginger and lemons. Peel the lemons with a paring knife and put in the juicer.
- Stir this with the apple juice. Taste and adjust. It should taste balanced, sweet and tart, with the heat of ginger in the background and a hint of exotic turmeric.
- Keep in the fridge and serve over ice for a refreshing summer drink, or top off with sparkling water.
Notes
- If adding little slices of turmeric through the juicer, pour a little splash of water or apple juice through the juicer to help the turmeric come out.
- Start with less turmeric and ginger, then add more to taste.
- Spike it with vodka or rum for a refreshing cocktail.
