Ingredients
Scale
- 2 oz (about 1/4 cup) fresh turmeric root, peeled and chopped
- 2 oz (about 1/4 cup) fresh ginger root, peeled and chopped
- 2 medium lemons, freshly squeezed (about 1/3 cup juice)
- 1 large orange, freshly squeezed (about 1/2 cup juice)
- 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
- 1–2 tablespoons raw honey (optional, or maple syrup/agave for vegan)
- 1/2 cup filtered water
Instructions
- Peel and chop the fresh turmeric and ginger roots into rough chunks.
- Juice the lemons and orange, removing seeds if possible.
- Add chopped turmeric, ginger, citrus juices, black pepper, honey (if using), and filtered water to a high-speed blender.
- Blend on high for 60-90 seconds until smooth and frothy.
- Strain the mixture through a fine mesh strainer or cheesecloth into a bowl or measuring cup, pressing to extract all liquid.
- Pour the strained shots into small glass bottles or jars, seal, and refrigerate.
- Shake well before serving, as natural settling occurs. Pour 2-3 oz per shot and garnish as desired.
Notes
Use fresh roots for best flavor and nutrition. Strain well for a smooth texture. Black pepper is essential for curcumin absorption. Adjust sweetness and spice to taste. Shots keep for up to 5 days in the fridge and can be frozen in ice cube trays. For a tropical twist, substitute orange juice with pineapple juice. Always shake before serving.
