Prep the ingredients by washing all the produce well. Peel the lemons then cut them into pieces small enough to fit down the juicer chute. Cut away any soft, shriveled, or mushy spots on the ginger and turmeric.
Blend or juice the ingredients. If using a juicer, add the lemons, ginger, and turmeric to your juicer and let it do its magic according to the user instructions.
If using a blender, add all the ingredients to your blender with 1/4 cup of water. Blend on high until everything is broken down and it forms a smoothie-like consistency. Optional: To make it more juice-like in consistency, strain the mixture by pressing it through a fine mesh sieve, or use cheese cloth to separate the solids from the liquid.
Stir the black pepper into the prepared juice. If you’re using powdered turmeric, add that in now as well.
Serve the juice in small serving sizes, about 1.3-1.5 ounces each.
Serve it right away or store it covered in the refrigerator for up to 3-4 days, and don’t leave it at room temperature for longer than 2 hours.

Don't consume more than one shot per day at a maximum. Too much curcumin (found in turmeric) can make you feel nauseous.
If you can’t find fresh turmeric, you can stir 3-4 teaspoons of powdered turmeric into the juice.
This recipe makes about 1 cup of liquid in total, but the exact amount depends on the efficiency of your juicer.
You can freeze the shots for later! Use a silicone ice cube tray to freeze the juice in individual servings, then remove them as needed. Either defrost the cube before drinking it or add a cube to a mug of hot water to dissolve it and make fresh lemon-ginger tea.
