# What You Need:

→ Citrus

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

→ Roots & Spices

02 - 2-inch piece fresh ginger root, peeled and chopped
03 - 2-inch piece fresh turmeric root, peeled and chopped, or 1 teaspoon ground turmeric
04 - 1/8 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

# How To Make It:

01 - Add lemon juice, chopped ginger, chopped turmeric or ground turmeric, filtered water, black pepper, and sweetener if desired to a blender.
02 - Blend on high speed for 45 seconds to 1 minute until completely smooth.
03 - Pour the blended mixture through a fine-mesh sieve or cheesecloth into a clean bowl, pressing gently to extract all liquid while removing pulp.

06 - Remove 2 frozen cubes per serving. Dissolve in warm water for a wellness shot, add to smoothies, or consume as concentrated supplement.

# Expert Advice:

01 -
  • These cubes taste sharp and bright rather than medicinal, so you'll actually look forward to your wellness shot instead of dreading it.
  • They're frozen and ready to go, meaning zero morning friction when you want something that feels intentional and nourishing.
  • One batch makes enough for weeks, and the whole process takes barely any hands-on time.
02 -
  • If you skip the straining step, your cubes will come out grainy and slightly bitter from concentrated ginger and turmeric fibers—it takes two extra minutes and makes an enormous difference in the final texture and taste.
  • Black pepper truly does change everything here; without it, you're losing a huge chunk of turmeric's bioavailability, which means your body won't absorb and use it as effectively.
03 -
  • Room temperature lemons yield significantly more juice than cold ones—pull them out of the fridge an hour before you plan to use them, or microwave for 15 seconds if you're in a rush.
  • Invest in a fine-mesh sieve or keep cheesecloth on hand; it's the difference between smooth, silky cubes and ones that feel gritty and slightly bitter from unsieved pulp.
