Looks like a great recipe, question why do we simmer it? why do we not just
blend as per your instructions, add lemon honey strain and drink raw?
Do you not loose the medicinal benefits when you boil it?
Thank you I am going to make this either way.
Appreciate the recipe

In reply to Gina. As much as I love the taste and the anti-inflammatory effects of this juice. I find that I am bruising very easily and very deeply. Can you come in on this. Thank you.

In reply to Kole. I have found it Dan power wash is an amazing cleaner. Gets turmeric stains out of everything and more. Try it you’ll be amazed.

In reply to Crystal Johnson. This is how they made it in Bali when I first had Jamu juice, so I'm going by how Indonesians traditionally make this juice.

I always enjoy your recipes and this one is no exception. I have a suggestion that I think is useful. As a Beekeeper, I know that heating honey causes it to lose some of the incredible antioxidant and other healthful benefits. So, it would be better to add the lemon juice and honey once the temperature falls below 95 degrees fahrenheit or after it is chilled. After simmering and straining, the Jamu juice was over 140 degrees.

“Cooking or heating honey at a high temperature can change the composition of nutrients. As per a report by the National Center for Biotechnology (NCBI), cooking or heating honey can deteriorate the quality and lose its essential enzymes and nutrients.”

In reply to Barbara Manglos. You should be able to buy fresh turmeric at most markets!

Hi Lisa,
Where do you buy fresh turmeric? I might have to try the powdered kind.
Thanks, Barb
