Ingredients

Ingredients

  • 120g/4oz fresh ginger root, peeled
  • 1 cup/250ml/8.8fl oz lemon juice
  • 200ml/7fl oz coconut water or apple juice (can substitute with other juices)
  • 50g/1.7oz honey (optional, can omit or reduce if using juice)
  • 50ml/1.7fl oz apple cider vinegar
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground turmeric powder

Instructions

  1. Prepare the ingredients. Peel and roughly chop 120g (4oz) of fresh ginger root to ensure it blends smoothly.
  2. Combine all ingredients in a blender. Add the chopped ginger, 1 cup (250ml) lemon juice, 200ml coconut water or apple juice, 50g honey (optional), 50ml apple cider vinegar, and 1/2 teaspoon turmeric powder into a high-speed blender or Thermomix.
  3. Blend the mixture. Process the ingredients on high speed for 30 seconds. For Thermomix users, set the machine to speed 9 for 30 seconds. Make sure to occasionally whisk or stir if honey gathers at the bottom.
  4. Strain the juice. Pour the blended mixture through a fine mesh strainer or sieve into a jug, pressing down on the pulp to extract as much juice as possible.
  5. Store the ginger shots. Transfer the strained liquid into an airtight bottle and refrigerate. The shots can be stored for up to 4-5 days.

Notes

  • Adjust the honey quantity based on your taste preference or omit it altogether if using sweeter juices.
  • For best results, use fresh, high-quality ginger root and freshly squeezed lemon juice.
  • The turmeric powder adds anti-inflammatory benefits but can be omitted if desired.
  • Shake the bottle well before each use as ingredients may settle.
  • Consume within 4-5 days to enjoy the freshest taste and maximum benefits.
