Ingredients:
Here’s what you’ll need to make this powerful ginger shot:
2 inches fresh ginger root, peeled and chopped
1 lemon, juiced
1/4 teaspoon turmeric powder (or 1-inch fresh turmeric root)
1/8 teaspoon cayenne pepper
1 tablespoon raw honey
1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar (with the mother)
1/4 cup coconut water (or filtered water for a milder taste)
Optional: Add a pinch of black pepper to enhance turmeric absorption.
Instructions:
Prepare the ingredients: Peel and roughly chop the ginger (and turmeric if using fresh). Juice the lemon and set aside.
Blend: Add all ingredients to a high-speed blender. Blend until smooth.
Strain (optional): If you prefer a smoother texture, strain the mixture through a fine mesh sieve or cheesecloth into a small jar or shot glass.
Drink fresh: Take one shot (about 2 ounces) first thing in the morning for best results.
Serving and Storage Tips:
Serving Size: One shot (approximately 2 ounces) is all you need per day.
Storage: Store any leftovers in an airtight glass jar in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
Shake well: If stored, shake the mixture before each use, as ingredients can settle.
Variations:
Green Boost: Add a few fresh mint leaves or spinach for added nutrients and a refreshing twist.
Spice It Up: Add a pinch of ground cinnamon for extra warmth and blood sugar balance.
Citrus Zing: Swap lemon for lime juice, or add a splash of orange juice for a sweeter taste.
Immunity Shot: Add a clove of garlic for extra antibacterial power (if you're brave!).
