Ingredients
Scale
4 inches fresh ginger root, peeled
2 inches fresh turmeric root, peeled
2 large lemons, peeled
1/2 teaspoon black pepper, ground
1 tablespoon honey (optional)
1/4 cup water (if using a blender)
Instructions
Prepare the ingredients: Peel the ginger, turmeric, and lemons. If using a juicer, feed the pieces through according to your machine’s instructions.
If using a blender: Place the ginger, turmeric, lemon pieces, black pepper, and water into a high-speed blender. Blend until completely smooth.
Strain the mixture: Pour the blended mixture through a fine-mesh sieve or cheesecloth into a bowl, pressing down on the solids to extract all the liquid. Discard the pulp.
Stir in honey if you are using it.
Pour the liquid into small shot glasses or a sealed glass jar.
Refrigerate immediately.
Notes
For better absorption of turmeric’s active compound, curcumin, always include black pepper.
Store the prepared shots in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
If you prefer a milder flavor, reduce the amount of ginger slightly.
You can add a small pinch of cayenne pepper for an extra circulation boost.
