How to make pineapple juice using a juicer?
- For best results, I recommend a slow juicer.
- Once all the ingredients are prepped, begin by adding chunks of pineapple, ginger and turmeric root (if using) to the juicer.
- If you are using ground turmeric, stir it into the juice at the end.
- Once the juice has been expressed, stir in the cayenne, lemon juice and ground turmeric.
- Mix well.
- Serve immediately or chilled over ice.
