Description
A potent, 5-minute immunity shot made with fresh ginger, turmeric, lemon, and raw honey. This anti-inflammatory drink is easy to make, cost-effective, and customizable to your taste.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 inches fresh ginger root (approx. 30g)
- 1 teaspoon organic turmeric powder
- 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice (juice of 1 medium lemon)
- 1 tablespoon raw honey
- 1/8 teaspoon black pepper
- 2–3 tablespoons water
- 1 teaspoon apple cider vinegar (optional)
- A tiny pinch cayenne pepper (optional)
Instructions
- Wash the lemon and ginger thoroughly. Scrub the ginger or peel it, then cut into chunks small enough to fit in a blender.
- Squeeze the lemon to measure 2 tablespoons of juice. Measure out the honey, turmeric, and black pepper.
- Add ginger chunks, turmeric powder, and 1 tablespoon of water to a blender.
- Blend on high until the ginger is finely chopped or pureed into a smooth paste.
- Pour in the fresh lemon juice, raw honey, and black pepper. Add optional ingredients like apple cider vinegar or cayenne if desired.
- Blend again for 10-15 seconds until the mixture is uniform and slightly thick.
- Taste and adjust consistency by adding more water if too strong, or more ginger/honey if too weak.
- Pour into a shot glass or small jar and drink immediately, or store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 5 days.
Notes
Black pepper is essential for increasing turmeric absorption. Do not heat the shot as heat destroys the enzymes in the honey and ginger. For a batch, store in an airtight glass jar in the fridge for up to 5 days. Shake well before use as ingredients may separate.
