Ingredients
- 5 ounces fresh ginger, washed
- 2 ounces fresh turmeric, washed
- 3 lemons, peeled
- 1 orange, peeled
- ½ teaspoon ground pepper
- 2 cups water
Instructions
- Thoroughly wash the ginger and turmeric. Roughly chop them and add them to the cup of a blender. Add the peeled lemon, peeled orange, black pepper, and water.
- Blend on the highest setting for 1 minute. Let it rest for one minute and then blend for one more minute.
- Allow it to sit in the blender for 5 minutes for the fiber to set to the bottom of the blender as much as possible. This will make the straining process easier.
- Pour the strained liquid into a jar with a lid and place it in the refrigerator.
- When ready to drink, pour 1 to 2 ounces into a glass and enjoy cold.
- You can freeze them in an ice cube tray and add them to smoothies or salad dressings. Or defreeze and drink the shots as you go.

Notes
- Use organic ingredients: This is important when juicing, as you’ll be consuming high quantities of ingredients sprayed with pesticides.
- To reduce bitterness: Juice the lemon and orange separately and add the juice to the blender (to avoid bitter pith affecting the taste).
- Dilute or sweeten if needed: This turmeric shot recipe has a pungent, spicy flavor. While it should be drinkable in just 1-2 gulps, optionally improve the flavor with sweetener or dilute it for a drink you can sip.
- To avoid staining: Turmeric stains skin, clothing, and your surfaces – so wear gloves, be careful, and rinse everything immediately. Nut milk bags will be permanently stained but fine to keep using.
