Why You’ll Love Ginger Shots Recipe
Every morning should start with shots! Immunity shots, of course. 😜 These gingery citrus 🍊 shots are not only delicious, they are loaded in vitamins and antioxidants to help boost energy, promote digestion, fend off headaches and fatigue, and strengthen your immunity against seasonal illness. 😷 All you need is a blender and a nut milk bag to make juice shop-quality, potent, healing shots. Each ingredient in this recipe is a powerhouse of health benefits, and when combined, they contain the fullest potential of their benefits.
Key Ingredients
🍊Oranges: I like to use fresh, organic oranges in this recipe, which are full of vitamin C. I prefer to remove the skin and pith before blending so the juice is not bitter at all, but nice and sweet.
🍋Lemons: I love the tang and bright flavor of fresh lemon in this recipe, but please remove the peel, pith, and seeds before adding to the blender.
🫚Ginger: A fresh knob of ginger is a must here, just make sure it’s not wrinkled, but smooth and firm. Ginger is full of amazing health benefits — it has strong anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties, helps support the immune system, and fights off 🤧 colds and infections. Plus, it’s a natural energy boost!
🧂Black Pepper: Black pepper is necessary in this recipe as it helps activate the turmeric for 2000% more absorption in the body.
🧡Turmeric: This spice has loads of health benefits. It helps promote heart health, reduces inflammation, and is rich in antioxidants, too.
🌿Oregano Oil: This natural oil is extracted from the oregano plant and has been used in traditional medicine thanks to its antibacterial, antiviral, and anti-inflammatory properties. When 🛒 purchasing from the health food store, double-check the variety you’re buying is safe for consumption.
How to Prepare
🔪 Use a sharp knife to peel and quarter 1 organic orange and 2 organic lemons, and then place into the blender.
🫚 Then chop 1 organic ginger root into smaller chunks and place into the blender.
💧 Next, add the black pepper, oregano or olive oil, and the filtered water to the blender.
🌀 Now, blend for 20 seconds, and then strain the liquid through a nut milk bag or cheesecloth.
🥄 After, stir in the ground turmeric.
🫙 Finally, pour the strained immune juice into your ginger shot bottles using a funnel, and store in the fridge for up to 1 week.
