Ingredients

1 large knob of fresh ginger (about 3 inches), peeled

1 lemon, peeled and seeded

1 small orange, peeled

1 tablespoon honey or maple syrup

1 teaspoon turmeric powder (or 1-inch fresh turmeric root)

A pinch of black pepper (enhances turmeric absorption)

¼ cup filtered water

Instructions

Chop the ginger and lemon into smaller pieces to make blending easier.

Add ginger, lemon, orange, turmeric, honey, and water to a high-speed blender.

Blend on high until the mixture becomes completely smooth.

Place a fine mesh strainer or cheesecloth over a bowl and pour the mixture through.

Press or squeeze well to extract every drop of liquid.

Transfer the ginger shot into a small airtight bottle or jar.

Serving and Storage Tips

Enjoy 1–2 ounces first thing in the morning for the best energizing effect.

Store in the refrigerator for up to 3 days in an airtight container.

Shake well before each serving—natural separation is normal.

For an extra-cold kick, chill your shot glass in the freezer beforehand.
