Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 100 grams Fresh ginger root
- 1 large Lemon
- 120 ml Water
- 10 drops Liquid stevia
- 1 pinch Cayenne pepper
Instructions
Start by peeling the fresh ginger root. Use a spoon to remove the skin gently without losing much of the ginger.
Cut the peeled ginger into thin slices or small chunks to make it easier to blend.
Juice the lemon using a citrus juicer to avoid seeds and to maximize the juice extracted.
In a high-speed blender, combine the ginger slices, freshly squeezed lemon juice, and the water.
Blend on high for 1-2 minutes until the mixture is smooth. If your blender is less powerful, you may need to blend a little longer.
Place a fine-mesh strainer over a bowl and pour the ginger mixture through it, using the back of a spoon to press the pulp and extract as much liquid as possible.
Discard the pulp and return the strained liquid to a clean jar or bottle.
Add the liquid stevia to sweeten to taste, starting with 5 drops and adjusting if needed. Stir well to combine.
Add a pinch of cayenne pepper for an added kick and to enhance metabolism-boosting properties.
Pour the spicy ginger shot into small glasses and serve immediately. Enjoy your invigorating boost!
The mixture can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 5 days. Shake well before using if stored.
