Equipment

  • blender or juicer

Ingredients

  • 3 tbsp fresh turmeric root chopped
  • 3 tbsp ginger chopped
  • 2 small lemons
  • 1&1/2 oranges (add 1-2 more oranges for added sweetness!)
  • 1/8 tsp pepper
  • 1/4 tsp olive oil
  • 1/4 cup coconut water if drinking as juice
  • honey (opt) to your taste

Instructions

  • Squeeze out juice from lemons and oranges for easy use.
  • BLENDER: Add chopped turmeric and ginger to a blender. Then add the juice of the orange and the lemons (this helps the mixture blend easier, and removes the pulp/rind). Blend on high for 30 seconds.
  • Then strain through a small fine mesh strainer, or nut milk bag. Just be aware that turmeric can stain.
  • For Serving: Divide between serving glasses and enjoy! For maximum benefits, enjoy immediately and top with fresh cracked black pepper and olive oil. 
  • For Juice: Add coconut water to the shot and mix to make juice. You may also use ice cubes.
  • FOR STORING: Store any leftovers (shots) covered in the refrigerator up to 24 hours (though best when fresh).
  • USING JUICER: To a juicer add orange, lemon, turmeric, and ginger (depending on the juicer, you may need to peel the orange and lemon). Then add pepper, oil and mix.

Notes

  1. You may peel and grind lemon and oranges too along with ginger and turmeric (no juicing need here).
  2. You may add apples mostly for the taste! A little sweetness goes a long way to balance out the other fiery, pungent and sour ingredients in this recipe. 
  3. Feel free to use turmeric powder instead of fresh turmeric root (if not available) in this recipe.
  4. You may add honey to sweeten.
  5. You can omit oranges if using apples.
  6. Use more oranges for more sweeter taste.
  7. Use more lemon for more sour and acidic taste.
