Tropical Turmeric Lemonade - Vegan recipe hero image

I remember the first time I made this Tropical Turmeric Lemonade on a warm summer day.

I had just come back from the farmer's market with some beautiful lemons and fresh ginger, and I thought, why not add a little turmeric for its golden goodness?

This drink has become a staple in my home, especially when I need a refreshing pick-me-up.

Plus, it’s packed with healing properties that I absolutely love!

What Makes This Recipe Special

  • Made with simple, plant-based ingredients that are easy to find
  • No animal products - completely vegan and cruelty-free
  • Perfect for beginners and experienced cooks alike
  • Delicious results that everyone will love, vegan or not

Ingredients & Substitutions

Fresh turmeric adds an earthy flavor and vibrant color, but if you can't find it, ground turmeric works just fine. The ginger gives it a nice kick, perfect for digestion, and if you want to make it a bit spicier, feel free to add more ginger! If you prefer a sweeter lemonade, you can use agave or coconut sugar instead of maple syrup.

Tips & Notes

  • I love to experiment with different sweeteners. Sometimes I’ll use a date paste for a more wholesome sweetness!
  • If you have leftover lemonade, I keep mine in a glass jar - it stays fresh for days and looks so pretty in the fridge!

Recipe Variations

  • If I'm feeling fancy, I sometimes add a splash of coconut water for an extra tropical twist.
  • For a fizzy version, you can substitute half of the water with sparkling water for a fun, bubbly drink!

Storage & Freezing

Store any leftover lemonade in an airtight container in the fridge. It’ll stay fresh for about 3 days. Just give it a shake before pouring, as the ingredients may settle.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I make this ahead of time?

Absolutely! You can prepare the lemonade a day in advance. Just keep it in the fridge, but make sure to give it a good stir before serving.
