Scale
Ginger Shot 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; peeling is optional since the mixture will be strained later. Juice the lemons to get about 55 grams of fresh lemon juice.
- Combine ingredients in blender. Add the ginger, turmeric (ground or fresh), lemon juice, coconut water, honey or maple syrup, sea salt, and black pepper to a high-speed blender.
- Blend the mixture. Start blending on low speed to break down the ingredients, then gradually ramp up to medium-high speed. Continue blending for a total of 2 minutes until smooth.
- Strain the mixture. Place a nut milk bag or fine mesh sieve over a bowl or wide-mouth jar. Pour the blended mixture through to strain out solids, producing a smooth juice.
- Store and serve. Transfer the strained ginger shots into a glass jar. Store in the refrigerator for up to one week. Serve in 2 oz servings for a potent health boost.
Notes
- Peeling the ginger is optional as the contents are strained.
- Adjust honey or maple syrup to taste for sweetness.
- Use fresh turmeric if available for a more vibrant flavor.
- Consume within one week and keep refrigerated for maximum freshness.
- 2 oz is the recommended serving size per shot.
