Ingredients
Ginger Shot Ingredients
- 4 oz (110g) fresh ginger
- 1/2 tsp ground turmeric or 1 oz fresh turmeric
- 2 medium lemons, juiced (approximately 55g juice)
- 1 ½ cups (12 oz or 345g) coconut water
- 1 tbsp (20g) honey or maple syrup (adjust to taste)
- 1/4 tsp Celtic sea salt
- Pinch of black pepper
Instructions
- Prep the ginger and lemon: Wash the fresh ginger thoroughly; peeling is optional as the mixture will be strained later. Juice the two medium lemons to obtain about 55 grams of fresh lemon juice.
- Blend the shots: Add the ginger, turmeric (ground or fresh), lemon juice, coconut water, honey or maple syrup, Celtic sea salt, and a pinch of black pepper into a high-speed blender. Start blending on low speed and gradually increase to medium-high, blending for a total of 2 minutes until well combined.
- Strain and store: Place a nut milk bag or a fine mesh sieve over a wide-mouth jar or bowl. Pour the blended mixture into the strainer and press or squeeze to extract all the liquid, leaving the pulp behind. Transfer the strained ginger shots into a glass jar and refrigerate. Consume within one week. Each serving size is 2 oz.
Notes
- If you prefer a spicier shot, leave more ginger pulp when straining.
- You can substitute maple syrup with honey for a vegan-friendly option.
- Add fresh turmeric if available for a more vibrant flavor; otherwise ground turmeric works well.
- Shake well before each use as natural separation may occur.
- Consume 1-2 shots daily for maximum health benefits.
