Ingredients
- 1 Lemon large and unwaxed
- 1 Orange either one large orange or 2-3 smaller oranges
- 2 Apples any sweet variety works well - I like Royal Gala
- 2 inch piece Ginger the fresher the better
- 2 inch piece Turmeric Root can substitute 1 tsp powdered turmeric
- 1 generous pinch Black Pepper
- 1 tbsp Honey buy good quality organic honey where possible
- 1 1/2 cups Filtered Water or coconut water
Instructions
- Slice up the apples, ginger and turmeric root (if using) and add to a large blender jug - there's no need to peel them.
- Slice the oranges and lemons into quarters and carefully remove the skin with a knife. Add the inner flesh to your blender jug. Alternatively, you can juice the oranges and lemons and add the citrus juice in.
- Add the remaining ingredients (honey, turmeric powder if using, black pepper and filtered water/coconut water) to the blender jug.
- Blend everything on high speed until it is smooth.
- Strain the ginger shots mixture into a jug using a fine mesh sieve or cheesecloth.
- Once all the mixture is strained, pour into your favourite glasses or bottles and enjoy!
Notes
- Leftover ginger shots can be stored in an airtight bottle in the fridge for up to 3 days. Ensure you shake it well before serving.
- Feel free to add any additional ingredients such as mango, pineapple or cayenne pepper - make it your own!
