Think of this drink like a super-charged lemonade.
The look might actually remind you more of orange juice, and that's thanks to the turmeric. The rhizome looks like ginger on the outside, but slice into it and you'll see its bright orange flesh.
Since we will be leaving the peels on the lemons, be sure to use organic lemons. (Yes, we will be blending up the seeds and all!)
