Ingredients & Substitutions
If you can't find fresh turmeric, you can use 1 teaspoon of turmeric powder instead, but fresh really gives that vibrant flavor and color. And if you're not a fan of maple syrup, agave nectar or another sweetener of your choice works too!
Tips & Notes
- •I love to keep my fresh turmeric and ginger in the fridge in a paper bag - it keeps them fresh longer.
- •If you want a little extra zing, try adding a pinch of cayenne pepper to the mixture for some heat!
Recipe Variations
- •Sometimes, I’ll add a splash of pomegranate juice for a deeper color and added antioxidants.
- •If I’m feeling a bit adventurous, I might throw in a few slices of cucumber for a refreshing twist.
Storage & Freezing
This drink is best enjoyed fresh, but you can store any leftovers in the fridge for up to 2 days. Just remember to leave out the sparkling water until you’re ready to serve!
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I make this in advance?
You can prepare the juice mixture ahead of time, but I recommend adding the sparkling water just before serving to keep it fizzy.

Ingredients
Instructions
- 1
Start by grating your fresh turmeric and ginger. I find using a microplane grater works best, but any fine grater will do.
- 2
In a medium bowl, combine the grated turmeric and ginger with the freshly squeezed orange juice, lemon juice, and maple syrup. Stir well to mix all the flavors.
- 3
Let this mixture sit for about 5 minutes. This helps the flavors meld together and gives the turmeric time to infuse into the juice.
- 4
After 5 minutes, strain the juice through a fine mesh sieve into a large pitcher to remove the grated bits. Press down on the solids to extract as much juice as possible.
- 5
Now, add the chilled sparkling water to the pitcher. Give it a gentle stir to combine. Taste and adjust sweetness with more maple syrup if you like.
- 6
To serve, fill glasses with ice cubes, pour the fizzy mixture over the ice, and garnish with fresh mint leaves. Enjoy your refreshing drink!
