JUICER: To a juicer, add orange, lemon, turmeric, and ginger (depending on the juicer, you may need to peel the orange and lemon - our Hurom does recommend peeling before juicing, so that's what we did).
BLENDER: Add turmeric and ginger to a high-speed blender or small blender. We prefer the Nutribullet. Then add the juice of the orange and the lemons (this helps the mixture blend easier, and removes the pulp/rind). A juicing tool like this or this can help! Blend on high for 30 seconds.
Add a little water if it has trouble blending but you shouldn't need any. Then strain through a clean thin dish towel, small fine mesh strainer, or nut milk bag. Just be aware that turmeric can stain.
FOR SERVING: Divide between serving glasses and enjoy! For maximum benefits, enjoy immediately and top with fresh cracked black pepper. One commenter also recommended adding a little fat to improve turmeric absorption, such as olive oil!
FOR STORING: Store any leftovers covered in the refrigerator up to 24 hours (though best when fresh).
LEFTOVER PULP: You can compost any leftover pulp or freeze into an ice cube try and add to future smoothies. Or, refrigerate and use to steep in things like my Ginger Turmeric Tonic!

Peeling is optional for both. If using a juicer, check your machine's manual—some, like Hurom, recommend peeling citrus first. For a blender method, peeling is not necessary.
Store leftovers covered in the refrigerator up to 24 hours, though they are best enjoyed immediately for maximum benefits and nutrient retention.
Add 1–2 more oranges for sweetness or more lemon for acidity. Reduce either citrus and swap with the other to shift the flavor profile to your preference.

Yes. Adding a small amount of fat such as extra virgin olive oil (about 1/4 tsp) can improve turmeric absorption. Top the finished shot with fresh cracked black pepper as well for enhanced bioavailability.
