Ingredients

Fresh Ginger Root (2-3 inches)

  • Known for its anti-inflammatory and digestion-supporting properties ginger adds a spicy kick and a wealth of health benefits.

Turmeric Root or Powder (1 tablespoon)

  • Turmeric is the star ingredient for its potent anti-inflammatory and antioxidant effects. Fresh root is ideal but powder works perfectly if that’s what you have.

Lemon Juice (2 lemons)

  • Loaded with vitamin C lemon juice supports your immune system and brightens up the flavor profile.

Honey (1-2 tablespoons)

  • A natural sweetener that soothes the throat and enhances the taste. Use raw organic honey for maximum health benefits.

Cayenne Pepper (a pinch)

  • Adds a touch of heat and boosts circulation helping to wake up your body.

Orange Juice (½ cup)

  • Optional but recommended for added sweetness vitamin C, and a smooth flavor balance.

Water (½ cup)

  • Adjust as needed to reach your desired consistency

Instructions

Prepare the Ingredients:

  • Wash and peel the ginger and turmeric roots if using fresh. (Pro Tip: Use a spoon to gently scrape the skin off for minimal waste.)
  • Juice the lemons and set aside. If you’re using orange juice, measure it out now.

Blend Everything Together:

  • Add the ginger, turmeric, lemon juice, honey, cayenne pepper, orange juice (if using), and water to a high-speed blender.
  • Blend on high until the mixture is smooth and the ginger and turmeric are fully broken down.

Strain the Mixture:

  • For a smooth texture, pour the blended mixture through a fine mesh strainer or cheesecloth into a bowl or large measuring cup.
  • Use a spoon to press the pulp and extract as much liquid as possible. Discard the remaining pulp or save it for another use, like adding to smoothies.

Pour and Store:

  • Transfer the strained liquid into small shot glasses or airtight containers for storage.
  • Store in the refrigerator for up to 5 days. Shake well before serving, as natural settling may occur.
