Easy Homemade Ginger Shots Recipe
Spicy, vibrant homemade ginger shots made with fresh ginger, turmeric, orange, lemon, and cayenne pepper. Easy to make in a blender or juicer and ready in 20 minutes.
Ingredients
- 1/2 pound fresh ginger
- 1 medium root of fresh turmeric or 1 teaspoon turmeric powder
- 1 orange peeled
- 3 lemons peeled
- A pinch of cayenne pepper
- 1/2 cup coconut water or regular water
Instructions
- Wash all produce thoroughly. Cut the peel from the orange and lemons. Chop the ginger and turmeric into rough pieces. No need to peel the ginger or turmeric.
- Add the orange, lemons, ginger, turmeric, cayenne pepper, and coconut water to a blender. Blend on high until completely smooth. If using a juicer, simply juice all the ingredients directly.
- Pour the blended mixture through a fine-mesh strainer or cheesecloth into a bowl. Press the pulp to extract as much liquid as possible.
- Pour into small glass bottles or a larger jar. This recipe makes about 6 shots.
Notes
- Always use fresh ginger for the best flavor and potency.
- No need to peel the ginger or turmeric. Just wash them well.
- Start with a pinch of cayenne and adjust to taste.
- Shake before drinking as ingredients will settle.
- If the shots are too intense, mix with pineapple juice, orange juice, or a little honey.
- A pinch of black pepper helps your body absorb the benefits of turmeric more effectively.
- Store in an airtight glass bottle in the fridge for up to a week. Freeze in an ice cube tray for up to 3 months.
