Notes

 

Step 1: Prepare Your Ingredients

  • Peel the ginger root to remove its rough outer layer.
  • Squeeze the juice from your lemon and set it aside.
  • Gather all other ingredients for easy assembly.

Step 2: Blend or Juice

  • If using a blender, combine the chopped ginger, lemon juice, honey, turmeric, cayenne pepper, and water. Blend until smooth, then strain the mixture through a fine mesh sieve to remove pulp.
  • If using a juicer, process the ginger and lemon directly. Stir in the honey, turmeric, and cayenne pepper afterward.

Step 3: Adjust and Serve

  • Taste the mixture and adjust the sweetness or spice levels to your preference.
  • Pour into small shot glasses and drink immediately for the freshest flavor.

Step 4: Store Leftovers

  • Store any remaining shots in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to three days. Shake well before each use.

Pro Tips

  • Use organic ingredients for a purer, more nutrient-rich shot.
  • If you’re new to ginger shots, start with a smaller amount of ginger to avoid overwhelming your taste buds.
