Ingredients
- 4 medium oranges, freshly juiced (about 2 cups juice)
- 1/2 small very ripe cantaloupe, seeded and cut into cubes (about 2 cups cubed)
- 1 inch fresh ginger root, peeled and sliced
- 1 small knob fresh turmeric root, peeled and sliced, or 1 teaspoon ground turmeric powder

- Add the ice cubes if serving immediately.

- Stir well and serve chilled.
