Instructions

If using a juicer:

Carefully cut skins away from lemon and orange. Chop carrots into large chunks. Chop ginger and turmeric into small pieces.
Using a juicer add oranges, lemon, carrots, ginger and turmeric.
Mix together honey and warm water and pour into juice to sweeten, mix well. Chill juice in fridge.
When ready to drink, divide juice between small cups (1/2 cup per serving). Sip and enjoy.

If using a blender:

Peel and then slice the oranges and lemon in half crosswise and scoop out any seeds. In the high-speed blender, combine the oranges, lemon, carrots, ginger, and turmeric.
Add 3⁄4 to 1 cup of water (or as much as needed) and blend on medium-high speed until pulverized. Use a tamper if needed if things get stuck while blending. If you do not have a tamper, occasionally stop the blender and stir with a wooden spoon to help the blending process.
Place an open nut milk bag over a medium bowl. Pour the blended juice into the bag and squeeze to strain all the juice into the bowl. (Alternatively, you can use a thin kitchen towel or a couple of layers of cheesecloth to strain the juice.)
Return the strained juice to the blender. Add the honey and blend for a few seconds to combine. Taste, and add more honey if you prefer it sweeter. Transfer the juice to a glass bottle or jar and place the lid on tightly.

If juicing by hand:

Juice lemon and orange with a hand juicer and pour into a medium/large jar. Add 1/4 cup (60 ml) carrot juice.
Mix together honey and warm water, and pour into juice to sweeten. Mix well.
Peel and chop ginger and turmeric into thin slices. Add to juice and let steep for a couple hours, or overnight depending on how strong you like the spiced flavours. Keep juice chilled in fridge, sealed tightly.
When ready to drink, divide juice between small cups (1/2 cup per serving). Use a small strainer to catch any slices when pouring. Sip and enjoy.

Notes

Juice will keep in fridge for up to 3 days. Stir or shake well before serving.

Nutritional information is a rough estimate.

If you can't find fresh turmeric or fresh ginger, you can substitute with 1/8 tsp ground turmeric and 1/8 tsp ground ginger. Shake well to combine. Optional to add a pinch more if you can stand the flavour, but this is my starting point.
