Ginger Turmeric Shots with a Blender
Packed with anti-inflammatory benefits, these ginger turmeric shots are packed with pain-relieving powder.
Servings: 6 shots
Ingredients
- 1 ½ cup apple juice or apple cider*
- 1 ounce fresh peeled ginger root a 2-3 inch knob
- ¼ teaspoon ground cinnamon
- ½ teaspoon ground turmeric
- A few grinds of freshly ground black pepper
Instructions
- Blend all ingredients in a high-powered blender, on high, for 20 seconds. Strain the mixture through a fine-mesh strainer into a glass jar or measuring cup, using a spoon to push the juice through the strainer to remove the pulp. Discard the pulp.
- Serve juice in shot glasses or top with sparkling water or ginger ale for a fun mocktail!
- You can also freeze the juice in an ice cube tray and/or store any remaining juice in a glass bottle or mason jar in your fridge for up to 5 days.
Notes
- *Instead of apple juice, you can use 1 apple (core removed and chopped) + 1 cup filtered water!
- If using juice, use a good-quality juice or cider without any additives or sugar. I recommend a local brand so you know it's fresh if you can find it!
- Substituting ground ginger will give a different flavor and be a lot more spicy. Highly recommend fresh.
- Easily peel the ginger with the back of your spoon!
- Ginger and turmeric in high quantities can interfere with some medications. If you intend to consume large amounts.
