Homemade Lemon Ginger Turmeric Shot
My Homemade Lemon Ginger Turmeric Shot recipe is a go-to for supporting immune health. Fresh and citrusy, you'll actually enjoy taking these shots!
Servings: 6 shots
Ingredients
- Juice of 2 lemons
- ¼ cup water
- 1 tablespoon olive oil optional, see below
- 2 navel oranges peeled
- ¼ cup fresh ginger washed and chopped, see below
- 1 teaspoon fresh turmeric or ¼ teaspoon dried
- ⅛ teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
- In a high powered blender, add lemon juice, water, olive oil. Add peeled oranges, chopped ginger, turmeric and black pepper. Blend until smooth.
- Through a mesh strainer or cheesecloth placed over a large bowl pour ginger mixture to remove any lumps. If using a cheesecloth, gently squeeze the liquid through the cloth so all that is remaining is the pulp (I recommend doing this in batches to avoid overloading the cloth).
- Pour the thin liquid into individual 2 oz glass jars or in one 12 oz mason jar and store in the fridge.
Notes
Olive oil is optional, however adding a fat source such as oil to these shots helps your body more readily absorb the turmeric.
Ginger does not have to be peeled. I personally like to just scrub mine and add it right into the blender to save time. However, if you prefer you can absolutely peel it first.
Freshly peeled oranges can be replaced with ½ cup 100% pure orange juice
