EQUIPMENT
INGREDIENTS
- 1 whole navel orange peeled
- 4 tbs lemon juice freshly squeezed
- 1 tablespoon orange zest
- 2-inch piece turmeric root or 1 teaspoon turmeric powder
- 2-inch piece ginger root
- 1 teaspoon black peppercorn
- ¼ cup water
- 1 teaspoon coconut oil optional
METHOD
- Zest the orange without going too deep into the white pith (bitter in taste).
- Carefully peel the orange deep enough to remove the pith (too bitter).Note: If you are using an orange with seeds, then make sure to remove the seeds.
- Add all ingredients to the blender and blend until pureed.
- Strain the puree through a fine mesh strainer to extract the juice. Note: You can also use a cheese cloth to strain.
- Pour juice into shot glasses and garnish with crushed peppercorn. Consume immediately or freeze in air tight glass bottles for later use.
NOTES
- Strain it: Make sure to strain the ingredients so your ginger turmeric shot is extra smooth. You can use a fine-mesh strainer, a cheesecloth, or a nut milk bag.
- Fresh ingredients: For the best flavor, I recommend using fresh ginger and turmeric. This will also provide the most health benefits.
- Adjust the sweetness: You can adjust the sweetness to your liking, or remove the orange juice altogether.
- Drink immediately: For the freshest flavor, I suggest drinking this ginger turmeric shot recipe immediately after making it.
