Homemade Immunity Shot
These blueberry ginger shots contain simple pain-fighting and immune-boosting ingredients for a less expensive shot you can make at home.
Servings: 10 shots
Ingredients
- 1 cup frozen wild blueberries
- 1 ounce fresh peeled ginger root
- 1 tablespoon honey
- 1 cup water
- (optional) juice from 1/2 lemon (about 1½ tablespoons)
Instructions
- Blend all ingredients in a high-powered blender, on high, for 30 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 until only pulp remains. Discard the pulp.
- Serve juice in shot glasses or mix it into sparkling water. 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.
Ice Cubes
- Pour the blueberry juice into ice cube containers and freeze for at least 12 hours. Store in the freezer for up to 3 months.
Notes
- Lemon is great for a vitamin C boost for those not on HYH or following a low histamine diet. It's delicious! You can simply omit it if you are on those diets.
- Frozen wild blueberries can be found with other frozen fruit. A great deal at Costco or Trader Joes. Regular frozen blueberries can be substituted if not available.
