Ingredients
Scale
- 2 inches fresh ginger root, peeled and finely grated
- Juice of 1 large lemon (about 2 tablespoons)
- 1 tablespoon raw honey
- 1/4 cup filtered water (60 ml)
- 1/4 teaspoon turmeric powder (optional)
- A pinch of black pepper
Instructions
- Peel about 2 inches of fresh ginger root using a spoon or vegetable peeler and grate finely with a microplane grater.
- Cut one large lemon in half and juice it using a citrus juicer or reamer, removing seeds, to get about 2 tablespoons of juice.
- In a small bowl or jar, combine grated ginger, lemon juice, raw honey, filtered water, turmeric powder (if using), and black pepper.
- Stir vigorously with a spoon or seal the jar and shake for about 15 seconds until honey dissolves and ingredients blend evenly.
- If desired, strain the mixture through a fine mesh strainer into a small glass to remove ginger pulp, pressing with a spoon to extract extra juice. Otherwise, enjoy as is.
Notes
Use fresh ginger and lemon for best flavor and nutrient content. Adjust honey to taste to balance the heat. Add a pinch of black pepper to enhance turmeric absorption. Store shots in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days and shake well before drinking. Avoid microwaving when reheating; warm gently if needed.
