A vibrant, earthy, and cannabis-infused wellness tonic that packs a nutritional punch.

Prep Time: 10 minutes
Total Time: 10 minutes

TERPENE PAIRING:
Best paired with strains high in Beta-Caryophyllene or Myrcene. Caryophyllene mimics the spicy, woody notes of black pepper and ginger, while Myrcene complements the earthy carrot and turmeric for a deeply grounding body effect.

Keep out of reach of children and pets. Effects may take 30-90 minutes to onset. Wait at least 2 hours before considering additional consumption. Do not drive or operate machinery.
INGREDIENTS:
* 20mg THC total cannabis tincture
* 8 oz fresh carrot juice (about 4-5 large carrots)
* 1 inch fresh ginger root, juiced (or finely grated and squeezed)
* 1/2 inch fresh turmeric root, juiced (or 1/2 tsp high-quality turmeric powder)
* 1 oz fresh lime juice
* 1/2 tsp honey or agave (optional, to balance the earthiness)
* A generous crack of fresh black pepper
* Fresh ice
* Garnish: A sprig of cilantro or a thin slice of fresh ginger
INSTRUCTIONS:
* If using a juicer, process the carrots, ginger, and turmeric together. If using a blender, blend the ingredients with a splash of water and strain through a fine-mesh sieve or nut milk bag.
* In a small pitcher or mixing glass, combine the fresh carrot-ginger-turmeric juice with the lime juice.
* Add the cannabis tincture (20mg total).
* Stir in the honey or agave if a touch of sweetness is desired.
* Add a generous crack of fresh black pepper. The piperine in the pepper is vital for the bioavailability of the turmeric’s curcumin.
* Fill two glasses with fresh ice and pour the tonic over the top.
* Stir gently to ensure the tincture and pepper are evenly distributed.
* Garnish with a fresh ginger slice or a sprig of cilantro for a bright, herbal aroma.
CHEF TIPS:
Fresh is Best: Fresh turmeric root provides a much brighter, citrus-like flavor compared to the dried powder. Be careful, as fresh turmeric will stain your hands and counters yellow!
Smoothness: If the juice feels too intense, you can cut it with 2 oz of sparkling water or coconut water for a lighter finish.
Oil Absorption: Since cannabinoids are fat-soluble, consuming this tonic alongside a small snack containing healthy fats (like avocado or nuts) can help with absorption.
Serve immediately. Enjoy the Carrot-Ginger-Turmeric Tonic responsibly 🥕✨
