Here’s what you’ll need…

Ingredients for Lemon Citrus Milk

Ingredients ~

One Lemon “Organic” medium to large
Fresh Ginger – 2 to 4 inches thinly sliced
Olive oil – 1 Tbsp first press, cold press, extra-virgin, organic. Use Greek olive oil or Braggs
Raw local honey – 1 Tbsp …more if you like it a bit sweeter
(Optional) a small fresh slice of turmeric
4 to 5 cups of purified water

Instructions ~

Wash lemon and cut in four quarters
Peel ginger & cut in thin slices (in photo I sometimes use my fermented ginger)
In blender add water and 1 Tablespoon of olive oil and 1 Tablespoon of raw honey (add more or less to your liking)
Also add lemon and ginger into blender (optional turmeric – small slice)
Blend all ingredients on low setting at first then “full high” setting for a few minutes until all contents are liquefied and pulp is extra fine.
Pour contents into a glass container or several glass jars using a funnel and fine sifter separating the pulp and only pouring liquid in container.
Use a spoon to move pulp around the sifter so liquid can get through. Once pulp fills the sifter place pulp aside into a small bowl and repeat until all liquid citrus milk is poured into glass container.
Drink your Citrus Milk on an empty stomach upon rising each morning. I love it so much and it taste so good I sometimes drink this throughout the day!
Refrigerate unused portion and drink within two days time.
(Optional) I sometimes use my pulp and mix it with organic cinnamon and raw honey and eat this as porridge! (see photos below).
