The original inspiration of Curcumade (rhymes with lemonade) was to make a refreshing drink with bright flavor and potential immunity support. This recipe highlights another great drink that highlights the ease of use in beverages but as you’ve read in our many Curcumade recipes – it’s SO much more than a turmeric lemonade. The bold and sweet alleppey turmeric blended with lemony amchoor (green mango powder) really lends well to vinaigrettes, sauces, marinades, and that finish touch of acid balance for seafood dishes. Try tossing a generous amount of Curcumade with fleur de sel to make your next addictive sprinkle to avocado toast and eggs.

Recipe Notes
This recipe also works well as a cocktail mixer, adding 1 oz of vodka or rum to make 6 cocktails. Add 6 oz of rum to the pitcher before pouring over 6 glasses of ice for a nice, light day drink.
The recipe is even better made ahead the day before and stored refrigerated to give the blend time to bloom and brighten.
