Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 50 grams fresh ginger root
- 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
- 100 milliliters water
- 0.5 teaspoons ground turmeric
- 0.25 teaspoons black pepper
- 0.125 teaspoons cayenne pepper
- 2 pieces ice cubes
Instructions
Start by peeling the ginger root. Slice it into smaller pieces to make it easier to process.
In a blender, combine the sliced ginger, fresh lemon juice, water, ground turmeric, black pepper, and cayenne pepper. The black pepper enhances the absorption of turmeric.
Blend on high speed until the mixture is smooth and well combined.
Place a fine-mesh strainer or a nut milk bag over a bowl or a jug. Pour the blended mixture through the strainer to extract the liquid. Use the back of a spoon to press down the solids to get as much juice out as possible.
Discard the pulp or save it for another use, such as flavoring soups or stews.
Pour the strained ginger shot into small glasses.
Add an ice cube to each glass to chill and slightly dilute the strength of the shot.
Serve immediately and enjoy the invigorating boost from your sugar-free ginger shot!
