Jump start your day with a Ginger Turmeric Wellness Shot - full of ingredients like immunity boosting fresh ginger, turmeric root, apple cider vinegar, and local honey. All you need is 5 minutes and a blender to make this cost effective Ginger Shot at home.
Thoroughly scrub and rinse the ginger root and turmeric root until clean.
Add the ginger root, turmeric root, half a lemon squeezed, apple cider vinegar, honey, black peppercorns, cayenne pepper (optional), and water to a blender.
Puree the ingredients on high speed until smooth. While the blender is powered on, line a large spouted bowl with a fine mesh strainer or a cheesecloth.
Once the mixture is smooth, pour the pulp over the strainer or cheesecloth. Use a spatula to press down and extract as much juice as possible into the bowl.
Optional: Transfer the pulp back to the blender and add another ½ cup of water. Run the blender on high speed and strain / extract the juice again.
Pour the juice through a funnel to fill up the mini mason jars. The ginger shots are ready to enjoy!
Store the shots in the refrigerator for up to one week. Give them a shake before consuming.
Notes
Use ¼ teaspoon of ground turmeric instead of fresh turmeric root.
Use a nutmilk bag, cheese cloth, or fine mesh strainer to strain out the pulp.
Use cayenne as an option. The ginger root and black peppercorn already make the ginger shot spicy. Adding cayenne can make the shot too spicy. I'd recommend making and taste testing your ginger shot first. If it has the capacity for extra spice, then add a pinch of cayenne afterwards.
