Homemade Turmeric Shots
Homemade turmeric shots are easy to make and a cost-effective way of enjoying ginger turmeric shots on a daily basis.
Equipment
- Strainer
- Funnel
Ingredients
- 1 orange
- 1 lemon
- 4 ounces ginger
- 2 teaspoons ground turmeric (or 2 inches fresh turmeric)
- ¼ teaspoon ground black pepper
- 1 cup filtered water
Instructions
- Peel the orange and lemon. Wash the ginger and slice into 4-6 pieces. Add lemon, orange, and ginger to your blender.
- Add ground turmeric, black pepper, and filtered water to the blender. Blend until there are no large pieces of ginger and everything is blended together.
- Strain mixture into a large bowl using a fine strainer. Use a rubber spatula to push all the liquid out of the solids.
- Pour the strained liquid into your storage container. Refrigerate and enjoy the turmeric ginger shots as desired. (Shake before pouring/enjoying).
Notes
- The liquid will separate from the solids as it settles in your bottle over time. Shake before enjoying or pouring yourself a shot-sized amount.
- I typically keep these in one larger jar and pour a shot-sized amount daily. However, if you have small containers, you can dose them out ahead of time.
- If using fresh turmeric, use 2 inches of fresh turmeric.
- The leftover solids from straining can be used in muffins, pancakes, etc. They can also just be thrown away or composted if you do not have a use for them.
