Pinch of black pepper (to enhance turmeric absorption)
1/2 cup water
Instructions:
Prepare the Ginger: Peel and chop the ginger into small pieces.
Blend the Ingredients: In a blender, combine the chopped ginger, lemon juice, orange juice (if using), turmeric, black pepper, maple syrup (if desired), and water. Blend until smooth.
Strain the Mixture: Place a fine-mesh strainer or cheesecloth over a bowl or measuring cup. Pour the blended mixture through the strainer to remove any pulp, pressing with a spoon to extract all the liquid.
Serve: Pour the liquid into small shot glasses or bottles.
Store: Keep any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Shake well before consuming.
Tips:
For a stronger ginger kick, increase the amount of ginger.
Add a pinch of cayenne pepper for an extra immune-boosting and metabolism-enhancing touch.
