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