CATCH A WAKE UP WITH IMMUNE BOOSTING GINGER SHOTS

INGREDIENTS

 

  • 600g fresh ginger
  • 400g fresh lemon or 4 lemons (if they are organic, don’t peel them)
  • 200ml purified water (you can use more and this is optional)
  • 4 heaped tsp powder turmeric or 24g fresh turmic
  • x4 grinds of black pepper

Juice everything together. If you have fresh turmeric, put this first in order to maximize extraction. Pour into a 1lt bottle and seal. Store in fridge.

METHOD

To make these winter winners, you will need a juicer, not a blender. I make 1lt at a time as it keeps in the fridge for at least 3 weeks. If you manage to get into a consistent and regular routine, you will drink it all within 10 days.

You should get between 20-25 shots per 1lt
