Ingredients

Scale

Primary Ingredients

  • 2 inches fresh ginger root, peeled and finely grated
  • Juice of 1 fresh lemon
  • 1 to 2 tablespoons raw honey
  • 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper (adjust to taste)
  • 1/2 teaspoon turmeric powder
  • 1/2 cup filtered water

Optional Variations

  • Fresh orange or grapefruit juice (to add extra citrus kick)
  • Fresh mint or basil leaves (for herbal boost)
  • Maple syrup or agave nectar (vegan sweetener alternative to honey)
  • Pinch of spirulina or wheatgrass powder (superfood addition)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Ingredients: Peel and finely grate about 2 inches of fresh ginger root to release its spicy aroma. Juice one fresh lemon and measure out your honey, cayenne pepper, turmeric powder, and filtered water.
  2. Combine and Mix: In a small bowl or jar, whisk together the grated ginger, lemon juice, raw honey, cayenne pepper, turmeric powder, and filtered water until the honey dissolves completely and the ingredients blend smoothly.
  3. Strain the Mixture: Pour the mixture through a fine mesh strainer or cheesecloth into a small bottle or glass to remove pulp, creating a smooth shot with just the vibrant liquid.
  4. Chill and Serve: Refrigerate the shots for at least 15 minutes to let the flavors meld. Serve cold for a refreshing zing that wakes you up immediately. Shake or stir before serving as natural separation may occur.

Notes

  • Use fresh ginger and lemons for best flavor and maximum health benefits.
  • Adjust sweetness cautiously by starting with less honey and adding more to balance the heat.
  • Finely grate ginger to extract more juice and pungency compared to chopping.
  • Serve in glass containers to preserve flavors and prevent absorption of spicy oils.
  • Optional garnishes include a thin lemon slice or a small sprig of fresh mint on the rim of your shot glass.
  • Store refrigerated in an airtight container for up to 4 days to maintain freshness and potency.
  • Freeze the mixture in ice cube trays for up to one month; thaw cubes as needed for a quick immunity boost.
  • Warm slightly before drinking if preferred, but avoid excessive heat to preserve honey and vitamin C quality.
