Ingredients
  

  • 4 inches fresh ginger root peeled
  • 2 whole lemons juiced
  • 1 teaspoon ground turmeric
  • 1 pinch cayenne pepper
  • 2 tablespoons raw honey optional
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper enhances turmeric absorption
  • 1/2 cup filtered water

Method
 

  1. Peel the fresh ginger root and cut into smaller chunks. Juice the lemons to get approximately 1/4 cup of fresh lemon juice.
  2. Add ginger chunks, lemon juice, turmeric, cayenne pepper, black pepper, honey (if using), and water to a high-speed blender.
  3. Blend on high speed for 45-60 seconds until the mixture is completely smooth and well combined.
  4. Pour the blended mixture through a fine-mesh strainer or cheesecloth into a bowl, pressing down to extract all the liquid. Discard the pulp.
  5. Pour the strained ginger shot into small glass bottles or shot glasses. Serve immediately or refrigerate for up to 5 days.
  6. Shake well before drinking. Take 1-2 ounces as a shot each morning on an empty stomach for best results.

Notes

For a spicier kick, increase the cayenne pepper gradually to your tolerance. Black pepper is essential as it increases turmeric absorption by up to 2000%. Store in airtight glass containers in the refrigerator and consume within 5 days for maximum potency and freshness.
