Turmeric is a wonderful spice with so many advantages. I love using it in the kitchen, natural beauty recipes, and especially this refreshing lemonade! We keep this turmeric lemon recipe at hand in festive drink for summer barbecues, picnic picnics and friends that stop.
Easy turmeric lemonade
We mainly know turmeric as a cornerstone of Indian cuisine and curry powders, mustards, etc. Unfortunately, many foods to which I like to add turmeric, such as soups, stews and hot golden milk, do not sound as well in hot weather.
This turmeric lemon recipe is the ideal solution and a family favorite. I have done it often for children so that they can rehydrate while they play outside and spend days at the beach. It’s incredibly easy to do and taste!
Turmeric offers a magnificent color, but its earthy taste is mainly hidden by the lemon flavor. I like to use liquid stevia to soften this, although any natural sweetener would work. Honey or maple syrup are delicious options!
Advantages of turmeric
So why is Turmeric so great? Health experts often recommend turmeric as a way to help reduce inflammation in the body. Thousands of studies show its advantages in the promotion of heart health, mental health, reduction in inflammation and the guarantee of balanced blood sugar. Turmeric also supports digestion, liver function and is also rich in beneficial antioxidants.
You will also find turmeric in several of my beauty recipes and my natural health remedies thanks to its external advantages. Turmeric can improve the skin, whiten teeth and even soothe rashes when added to a poultice. For a complete list of advantages and uses of turmeric, see this article.
One in my favorite ways to get my daily dose of turmeric is with this lemonade of easy superfoods.

- If you don’t consume it all at the same time, make smaller lots by cutting the recipe in two or even a quarter. I prefer to use stevia to maintain the sugar content, but any natural sweetener like maple syrup or honey will work well in this recipe.
- Caution: Turmeric colors surfaces.

Optional flavor booss:
- Add a few thin slices of fresh ginger before mixing
- Use a pinch of sea salt for hydration
- Use coconut water instead of ordinary water for electrolytes
- Try to add sparkling water after mixing for a sparkling version
- Use lemon juice instead of lemon or orange juice (use 1 cup of orange juice and reduce the water by 1/2 cup).
FAQ for the turmeric lemonade
Why drink it immediately?
Turmeric tends to settle down and fresh lemon juice can oxidize over time. In addition, the crushed ice melts quickly, diluting the flavor and modifying the texture. For the best taste and the advantages, take advantage immediately.
How to store it
If you have to do this in advance, keep the lemonade in an airtight container in the refrigerator and shake or stir well before drinking. It is better consumed within 24 hours.
How many sweeteners use?
Adjust the sweetener to taste. Start by a little and increase as needed according to your preference or acidity of your lemon.
