What You’ll Need
Ingredients:
- 15 Lemons
- 3 Large Navel Oranges
- Ginger (1 large chunk)
- Turmeric (1 large root chunk) (root form (preferred) or powdered)
- Black Pepper (tablespoon)
- CBD Oil (Full dropper of your choice strength)
- Cayenne Pepper (optional, however much you’d prefer)
- Shroom Tech Immune (optional, but worth it if you can. The link we provided is to a free trial if you’d like to give it a whirl)
Gear:
- Kitchen Knife / Cutting Board
- A handheld Juicer or a strong grip
- A Strainer to catch seeds and pulp
- A Microplane or grater
- A Microplane will more finely grate the ginger and turmeric (if using root form) and lead to a better consistency
- A Sealable Container (like a good mason jar)
Putting It Together
- Halve the citrus and juice them into a strainer over your container
- In order to make the juicing process a bit easier, leave the lemons and oranges out for a few days, you want them ripe and soft.
- Pro Tip – toss them in the microwave whole for a minute or two if you want to save some time and increase your juice yield.
- Microplane the Ginger and Tumeric
- We generally suggest adding as much of these you can. Each piece of ginger has a different “heat” level, so experiment a bit to determine what works for you
- Make sure to get the pulp and juice into your container
- Throw in a tablespoon of black pepper
- Add Cayenne if you can handle it!
- Add 2 full droppers of your favorite strength Tasty Drops CBD Oil
- Pop open 2 of the Shroom Tech Immune capsules if you got the free trial and add, then…
- Shake, Shoot and Enjoy! Store any remaining juice in your fridge for the rest of the week.
