Method
Place the chopped turmeric, lemongrass stalk and ginger in a good food processor along with 1 litre of water and blitz until smooth.
Heat this mixture, gently in a saucepan until gently simmering but not boiling.
Take off the heat and stir in the honey, cinnamon and lime juice.
Pass this mixture through a fine sieve or even better some cheesecloth so that you have a smooth orange juice.
Pour the juice into a sterilised glass bottle and keep it in the fridge.
