What is the recipe for making a turmeric and ginger drink?

Take a 1–2” knob of GINGER, wash and peel it with a spoon. Using a microplane grate the fresh ginger onto strainer lined with one sheet paper towel.
Roll, wash and juice two or three ORANGES.
Pour orange juice over ice, using strainer if desired.
Measure 1 tsp GROUND TURMERIC into drinking glass, add a pinch of CAYENNE and stir with the ginger juice to incorporate.
ALTERNATIVELY, you may replace the fresh squeezed oranges with COCONUT WATER and squeeze of half a LIME.
I like to serve with a glass STRAW for giving the drink a stir, as the turmeric tends to settle toward the bottom of the glass after a bit.
Add ice to drinking glass, about halfway.
For one:
TOP IT OFF with SPARKLING WATER, ginger ale, or more ice if necessary, or desired.
Set strainer on top of glass and squeeze in grated ginger in the paper towel—adding a shot of fresh ginger juice into empty drinking glass (discarding the completely strained ginger pulp and paper towel).
