Description

A concentrated wellness ginger shot with lemon, cayenne, and honey for immunity and digestion. Makes 4 shots for the week.

Ingredients

Scale

4 inches fresh ginger root (peeled)
2 lemons (juiced)
1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
1 tablespoon raw honey
1 inch fresh turmeric root (optional)
Pinch of black pepper

Instructions

Peel and roughly chop the ginger (and turmeric if using).
Add ginger to a blender with 1/4 cup water. Blend until pulpy.
Strain through a fine mesh sieve or cheesecloth, pressing to extract all juice.
Mix ginger juice with fresh lemon juice, honey, cayenne, and black pepper.
Stir well and pour into 4 shot glasses or a sealed jar.
Take one shot daily, preferably in the morning on an empty stomach.

Notes

Store remaining shots in a sealed glass jar in the fridge for up to 5 days. Shake before each use. If using a juicer instead of a blender, feed ginger and turmeric through the juicer and skip straining.
