Ingredients
- 1/4 cup fresh ginger roughly chopped, about 30 g or a 2 inch piece, scrubbed, no need to peel
- 1 inch fresh turmeric chopped, or 1/2 teaspoon ground turmeric
- 1 medium orange juiced, about 1/3 cup juice
- 1 lemon juiced, about 3 tablespoons juice
- 1/2 cup water or coconut water
- 1 pinch ground black pepper
- 1 1/2 teaspoons honey optional; not for babies under 1 year
Instructions
- Scrub the ginger and turmeric well and chop into 1/2 inch pieces. There is no need to peel them.
- Juice the orange and lemon.
- Add the ginger, turmeric, citrus juice, water and black pepper to a blender. Blend on high for about 60 seconds, until completely smooth.
- Set a fine-mesh strainer over a bowl and pour the mixture through, pressing the pulp with a spoon to get all the juice out. Stir in the honey, if using.
- Pour into a glass jar or small bottles and refrigerate. Shake well and pour 2 ounces per shot.
Rekha's Notes
Tips: juice the citrus instead of blending it whole, since the peel and pith make the shot bitter. Wear gloves for fresh turmeric. Too fiery? Dilute each shot with an equal amount of water.
Storage: up to 3 days in a sealed glass jar in the fridge. Freeze single shots in an ice cube tray for up to 3 months.
Safety: this is unpasteurized juice. Children, older adults, pregnant women and anyone with a weakened immune system should skip it. Check with your doctor first if you take regular medication.
