Ingredients
With fresh turmeric
- 1 tbsp fresh turmeric grated
- 1 tbsp fresh ginger grated
- 1 tsp honey adjust to taste
- 1/2 tsp black pepper
- 1/2 cup water
- A pinch of cayenne pepper for added heat optional
With turmeric powder
- 1 tsp turmeric powder organic preferred
- 1/2 tsp ground ginger or freshly grated ginger
- 1 tbsp lemon juice freshly squeezed
- 1 tsp honey optional for sweetness
- 1/4 tsp black pepper
- 1/4 cup warm water
Instructions
With fresh turmeric
- In a small saucepan, combine the grated turmeric, grated ginger, honey, black pepper, and water.
- Heat the mixture over medium heat, stirring continuously. Bring it to a gentle simmer and let it cook for about 5 minutes. This cooking process helps release the flavors and enhances the overall taste of the shot.
- Remove the saucepan from the heat and let the mixture cool slightly.
- Strain the liquid using a fine mesh sieve or cheesecloth to remove the solid particles, leaving you with a smooth liquid.
- Allow the turmeric shot mixture to cool completely before transferring it to a clean glass bottle or jar. Refrigerate the turmeric shot for at least 1-2 hours before serving. This can be stored in the refrigerator for up to a week.
With turmeric powder
- In a small bowl or cup, mix turmeric powder, ground ginger, and black pepper.
- Add lemon juice and honey (if using), then pour in the warm water.
- Stir well until fully combined. For a smoother shot, blend it for 15 seconds.
- Pour into shot glasses and enjoy immediately.
