Notes
How To Store
- Fridge: Store in sealed 2oz glass jars or a small airtight bottle for up to 5 days. Shake or stir before drinking as the mixture settles.
- Freezer: Pour into a silicone ice cube tray, freeze solid, then transfer to a freezer bag for up to 3 months. Drop a cube into hot water for a warming instant shot, or blend into a smoothie straight from frozen.
Top Tips
- Use fresh ginger and turmeric. Ground works in a pinch but fresh gives a bolder flavour and more potent shot. Find them in the produce section or any Asian grocery store.
- Add a pinch of black pepper. Increases turmeric absorption significantly and you cannot taste it at all.
- Do not skip straining. Pressing the pulp through the sieve properly is what gives you a smooth, clean shot rather than a grainy one.
- Sweeten to taste. Every batch of ginger varies in heat. Add more honey or orange juice if the shots feel too intense.
- Make them on Sunday. Having a batch ready in the fridge means you will actually drink them consistently rather than making them one at a time.
