Ginger Shots
Description
Ginger Shots blend raw ginger and turmeric roots with lemon juice to produce a vivid, fresh liquid that delivers a sharp, zesty profile. Blending the roots extracts the fibrous flavors and bright colors, and straining ensures a smoother, less pulpy shot. Optional honey adds a touch of sweetness to balance the natural spices. The small serving size emphasizes potency over volume.
The shots can be consumed straight as a brisk morning or midday boost. Their concentrated nature means a little goes far, and freezing portions is a practical way to preserve freshness over months. Storing the shots in airtight containers in the refrigerator helps maintain their flavor and potency for up to one week.
Since the recipe uses raw roots, peeling is optional and depends on preference or root condition. The technique of blending and straining offers control over texture, allowing variation from smoothly liquid to slightly pulpy depending on desire.
Ingredients
- 2 inches ginger washed, fresh
- 2 inches turmeric root washed
- 12 ounces lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon honey optional
Instructions
- Peel the ginger and turmeric, if desired. Then, transfer them to a high-speed blender along with the lemon juice.
- Blend until the mixture is smooth and bright colored.
- Strain the mixture to make it smoother, if desired, then stir in the honey, if using. Pour into 2-ounce bottles to enjoy throughout the week or pour into an ice-cube tray or molds of your choice to freeze for up to 3 months.
Notes
- Store leftover shots in airtight containers or individual bottles in the refrigerator; they stay fresh for up to one week.
- Freeze shots in ice-cube trays or molds for longer storage of up to three months.
- Peeling ginger and turmeric is optional and can affect the final texture of the shot.
