Main Ingredients
- 1/4 cup fresh ginger, chopped
- 1/4 cup fresh turmeric root, chopped
- 2 lemons, peeled and chopped
- 2 oranges, peeled and chopped
- 1 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 cups water
Instructions
- Blend Ingredients: Place the chopped ginger, turmeric, peeled lemons and oranges, black pepper, and water into a blender. Blend on high for 1-2 minutes until the mixture is completely smooth and the flavors combine well.
- Strain Mixture: Pour the blended mixture through a fine mesh strainer into a bowl or pitcher, using a spoon to press and extract as much liquid as possible, separating the pulp from the juice.
- Discard Pulp: Dispose of the leftover pulp, ensuring that only the juice remains for a smooth, concentrated shot.
- Store Properly: Transfer the juice into an airtight container and refrigerate. The mixture can be stored for up to two weeks; remember to shake well before each use to recombine any settling.
- Serve Shot: Pour 2 ounces per serving as a potent immunity-boosting shot, perfect for daily consumption to support overall health.
Notes
- Use fresh turmeric and ginger for the best flavor and maximum health benefits.
- Black pepper enhances the absorption of curcumin in turmeric, so do not omit it.
- If fresh turmeric root is unavailable, turmeric powder can be substituted but may alter the flavor slightly.
- The juice can be stored in the fridge for up to 2 weeks; always shake well before serving as natural separation may occur.
- Consume these shots in the morning or anytime you need an immunity lift.
