Ingredients
Scale
- 2 inches fresh ginger root, peeled and roughly chopped
- Juice of 1 medium lemon (about 2 tablespoons or 30 ml)
- 1 tablespoon raw honey
- 1/4 teaspoon turmeric powder
- A pinch of freshly ground black pepper
- 1/2 cup (120 ml) filtered water
Instructions
- Peel about 2 inches of fresh ginger root using a spoon edge and roughly chop it.
- Extract the ginger juice: If using a juicer, run the chopped ginger through it. If using a blender, combine ginger pieces with 1/2 cup filtered water and blend until smooth, then strain through a fine mesh sieve or cheesecloth.
- Squeeze the juice of one medium lemon into the ginger juice, avoiding seeds.
- Stir in 1 tablespoon raw honey, 1/4 teaspoon turmeric powder, and a pinch of freshly ground black pepper until honey dissolves completely.
- Taste and adjust by adding more water if too intense or more honey if sweeter taste is desired.
- Pour the shot into small glasses or bottles and serve immediately or refrigerate and consume within 2-3 days. Shake well before each use.
Notes
Use fresh ginger for best flavor and health benefits. Stir honey in while juice is at room temperature for better dissolution. Adjust lemon and water to taste to avoid overpowering the ginger. Store in airtight container in fridge up to 3 days and shake before use.
