Ginger Turmeric Shot Recipe
Ginger turmeric shots are small but mighty drinks that deliver a concentrated dose of nutrients.
Ingredients
- 2 inch piece of fresh ginger, peeled and chopped
- 2 inch piece of fresh turmeric root, peeled and chopped (or 1 tsp ground turmeric)
- 1 lemon, juiced
- 1 tbsp honey (optional)
- 1 cup water
Instructions
- Prepare the Ingredients: Wash and peel the ginger and turmeric roots. Chop them into small pieces for easy blending.
- Blend: Add the ginger, turmeric, lemon juice, honey (if using), and water to a blender. Blend until smooth.
- Strain: Pour the mixture through a fine mesh strainer or cheesecloth into a glass or jar to remove the pulp.
- Heat (Optional): For a warm shot, gently heat the strained liquid over low heat. Do not boil, as this can reduce the potency of the nutrients.
- Serve: Pour the liquid into a shot glass or small cup and drink immediately.
- Store: If you make a larger batch, store the ginger turmeric shot in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days. Shake well before serving.
