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

Roll, wash and juice two or three ORANGES.
Add ice to drinking glass, about halfway.
Pour orange juice over ice, using strainer if desired.
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.
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.
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).
Measure 1 tsp GROUND TURMERIC into drinking glass, add a pinch of CAYENNE and stir with the ginger juice to incorporate.
For one:
ALTERNATIVELY, you may replace the fresh squeezed oranges with COCONUT WATER and squeeze of half a LIME.
