Lemon Ginger Turmeric Wellness Cubes

# What You'll Need:

→ Citrus

01 - 3 large lemons, juiced (approximately 3/4 cup juice)

→ Roots and Spices

02 - 2-inch piece fresh ginger, peeled and chopped

03 - 2-inch piece fresh turmeric, peeled and chopped, or 1 teaspoon ground turmeric

04 - 1/8 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

→ Liquid

05 - 1 cup filtered water

→ Sweetener

06 - 1 to 2 tablespoons honey or maple syrup, optional

# How To Make:

01 - Combine lemon juice, chopped ginger, chopped turmeric or ground turmeric, filtered water, black pepper, and sweetener if using in a blender. Blend on high speed until smooth.

02 - Strain the blended mixture through a fine-mesh sieve or cheesecloth into a bowl to remove pulp completely.

03 - Pour the strained liquid into an ice cube tray, filling each compartment evenly.

04 - Freeze for at least 2 hours or until completely solid.

05 - Pop out 2 cubes per serving. Dissolve in a glass of warm water, add to smoothies, or consume as a concentrated wellness shot.

# Expert Tips:

01 -

Two minutes of prep yields weeks of wellness shots, no daily blending required.
The flavor actually improves when frozen, becoming more concentrated and vibrant than fresh juice.
Each cube dissolves into warm water like magic, transforming into a complete wellness ritual instead of a chore.

02 -

The black pepper genuinely matters—turmeric's beneficial compounds need it to be absorbed by your body, so skipping it defeats half the purpose.
Hot water dissolves the cubes fastest, but if you add them to cold smoothies they'll melt over 30 seconds and chill the drink naturally without diluting it with ice.

03 -

Make a double batch when you have the ingredients on hand—the freezing process is hands-off, so you're only adding five minutes of active work for double the supply.
If your first batch tastes too sharp, reduce ginger by half an inch next time; if too mild, add another inch of fresh ginger root.
