Ingredients

Scale

Fresh Produce

  • 5 ounces fresh ginger, washed
  • 2 ounces fresh turmeric, washed
  • 3 lemons, peeled
  • 1 orange, peeled

Spices & Liquids

  • ½ teaspoon ground black pepper
  • 2 cups water

Instructions

  1. Prepare Ingredients: Thoroughly wash the ginger and turmeric, then roughly chop them. Peel the lemons and orange, removing as much of the white pith as possible to reduce bitterness.
  2. Blend the Mixture: Add the chopped ginger, turmeric, peeled lemons and orange, black pepper, and water to the blender. Blend on the highest setting for 1 minute to combine and break down the ingredients.
  3. Rest and Blend Again: Let the blended mixture rest for 1 minute, allowing flavors to integrate. Then blend again for another full minute to ensure a smooth consistency.
  4. Settle the Fiber: Allow the blended liquid to sit in the blender for 5 minutes. This pause helps the fibrous solids settle at the bottom, making the straining process simpler and more effective.
  5. Strain the Juice: Pour the mixture through a fine mesh strainer or cheesecloth into a jar with a lid to separate the juice from the solids. Seal and refrigerate the juice.
  6. Serve and Store: When ready, pour 1 to 2 ounces of the chilled juice into a glass and enjoy it cold. Alternatively, freeze portions in an ice cube tray to add to smoothies or salad dressings, or thaw and drink as needed.

Notes

  • Use fresh, organic ginger and turmeric for the best flavor and nutritional benefits.
  • Peeling the lemons and orange helps reduce bitterness and enhances the smoothness of the shot.
  • Black pepper is added to increase the bioavailability of turmeric’s curcumin compound.
  • These shots can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
  • Freezing in small portions is convenient for later use in smoothies or as quick immunity boosters.
  • If you prefer a milder taste, reduce the amount of ginger or turmeric slightly.
