Ingredients
Scale
Ingredients
- 4 oz (110g) fresh ginger
- 1/2 tsp ground turmeric or 1 oz fresh turmeric
- 2 medium lemons, juiced (55g juice)
- 1 ½ cups (12 oz or 345g) coconut water
- 1 tbsp (20g) honey or maple syrup (add more as needed)
- 1/4 tsp celtic sea salt
- Pinch of black pepper
Instructions
- Prep the ginger and lemon. Thoroughly wash the fresh ginger root; peeling is optional since the mixture will be strained later. Juice the lemons to get approximately 55 grams of fresh juice.
- Blend the shots. Place the ginger, turmeric, 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. Blend for 2 full minutes until all ingredients are thoroughly combined.
- Strain and store. Using a nut milk bag or fine mesh sieve, strain the blended mixture over a bowl or wide-mouth jar to remove pulp and fibers. Pour the strained ginger shot liquid into a clean glass jar and refrigerate. The shots can be stored in the fridge for up to 1 week.
- Serve. For each serving, pour 2 oz of the ginger shot into a small glass and enjoy immediately for the best flavor and nutritional benefit.
Notes
- Peeling ginger is optional since the juice is strained, but be sure to wash it well.
- You can adjust the sweetness by adding more or less honey or maple syrup to suit your taste.
- Fresh turmeric may be used instead of ground turmeric for a fresher flavor.
- Ginger shots can be prepared in advance and stored refrigerated for up to one week.
- Shake or stir well before each serving as ingredients may settle.
