Description

Potent spicy ginger wellness shots deliver powerful immune-boosting benefits for health-conscious individuals. Nutrient-dense ingredients combine to create a quick, zingy drink you can easily prepare at home.


Ingredients

Scale

Fresh Ingredients:

  • 2 inches raw ginger, peeled
  • 2 inches raw turmeric, peeled (or 1 teaspoon powdered turmeric)
  • 2 lemons, peeled and quartered
  • 2 oranges, peeled and quartered
  • 24 cloves raw garlic, peeled (optional)

Liquid & Sweeteners:

  • 2 cups (473 milliliters) filtered water
  • 1 tablespoon (15 milliliters) apple cider vinegar (with the mother)
  • 1 tablespoon (15 milliliters) raw honey

Spices:

  • 1 pinch black pepper

Instructions

  1. Combine fresh ginger, turmeric, lemon juice, cayenne pepper, and filtered water in a powerful blender, creating a vibrant, intense mixture.
  2. Position a fine-mesh strainer over a large clean bowl, carefully pouring the blended liquid through in small batches to maximize extraction.
  3. Gently press the pulp with a spoon to release additional liquid, rotating and cleaning the strainer between each pour to ensure smooth, clear extraction.
  4. Transfer the strained wellness shot liquid into a measuring cup with a convenient pouring spout for precise bottling.
  5. Use a small funnel to distribute the liquid into clean glass bottles, leaving minimal headspace to preserve freshness and prevent oxidation.
  6. Seal bottles tightly and refrigerate immediately. Consume within 3-4 days for optimal potency and flavor, ideally drinking first thing in the morning or at the onset of cold symptoms.

Notes

  • Customize Heat Levels by adjusting the amount of ginger and cayenne pepper to suit your spice tolerance.
  • Optimize Nutrient Preservation by using a cold-pressed juicer instead of blending if you want maximum enzyme retention.
  • Extend Shelf Life by storing shots in airtight glass bottles in the refrigerator for up to 5 days, ensuring maximum freshness and potency.
  • Create Dietary Variations by substituting honey with maple syrup for a vegan version or using fresh turmeric for additional anti-inflammatory benefits.
