Equipment
- 1 Juicer optional
- 1 Blender optional
- Fine mesh strainer optional
- Kitchen scale optional
Ingredients
With a juicer
- 1 pound fresh ginger root
With a blender
- 5 ounces fresh ginger root
- 1 cup filtered water
Instructions
With a juicer
- Scrub the ginger root and rinse under water until clean. Add to the juicer and press through till ginger juice is extracted. 1 pound of ginger creates roughly ½-3/4 cup of ginger juice.
- Store in a glass container for up to 1 week. Some ginger may collect at the bottom of the glass as it sits - shake well before serving.
With a blender
- Peel ginger using the back of a spoon then add it to a high speed blender with 1 cup of water. Blend on high speed till fully combined, about 30 seconds to 1 minute.
- Place a fine mesh strainer over a storage cup or container. Pour the ginger juice through, pressing the ginger pulp down with the back of a spoon to extract all the juice. You may need to transfer the ginger pulp to another cup once you're finished extracting all the juice as it can build up.
Notes
- The nutritional values entered are for the entire use of 5oz of ginger.
- This recipe as written is extremely spicy and either meant to be diluted with water or mixed into other dishes!
- If you'd like to sweeten this and drink it as a shot, agave nectar will mix best into cold liquid. If you'd like to use honey, blend it with additional water to dilute everything. Or stir it into warm water and dilute it to taste to make ginger tea.
- This ginger juice is great mixed with other fruit juices for a strong ginger flavor!
