TIPS
- Use Freshly Squeezed Juice: Fresh orange juice provides better flavour and higher vitamin C content than bottled varieties.
- Stir Turmeric Thoroughly: Ground turmeric can settle at the bottom, stir well or whisk briefly to ensure even distribution.
- Use Cold Kombucha: Starting with chilled kombucha helps retain carbonation and keeps the drink refreshing.
- Add Sweetener If Needed: If you prefer a sweeter drink, add a few drops of stevia, maple syrup or agave nectar.
- Strain For Smoothness: If the gritty texture from Turmeric bothers you, strain the drink through a fine mesh sieve before serving.
VARIATIONS
- Citrus Spice Boost: Add a pinch of ground cinnamon or ginger for more depth and warming spice.
- Tropical Option: Add a splash of pineapple juice for a fruitier take.
- Mint Infusion: Drop in a few mint leaves for a refreshing herbal touch.
- Low-Acid Option: Use carrot juice instead of orange juice for a gentler flavour that still complements Turmeric.
- Golden Latte Kombucha: Add a dash of coconut milk and vanilla extract for a golden milk-style probiotic drink.
- Anti-Inflammatory Superblend: Include black pepper to enhance the absorption of curcumin and turmerics activate the compound.
PREPPING AND STORAGE
- Refrigerate If Prepping In Advance: If not consuming immediately, store the drink in a sealed jar or bottle in the fridge for up to 24 hours.
- Best Within 12 Hours: While safe to drink after that, the Turmeric may settle and kombucha can lose its fizz over time.
- Stir Or Shake Before Serving: Always give the drink a stir or gentle shake if stored to redistribute the Turmeric.
- Avoid Freezing: Kombucha should not be frozen, as it destroys the probiotics and alters taste and texture.
- Serve Cold: For the best experience, serve over ice or chilled from the fridge.
