Ginger & Turmeric Shots
Ginger & turmeric shots are cleverly designed to deliver a dose of vitamins and beneficial compounds that can easily be absorbed by the body. For instance, the addition of black pepper means that the absorption of curcumin, a key active ingredient in turmeric, increases by 2000%. Equally, a small amount of extra virgin olive oil helps to digest these benefits of turmeric more easily.
Ingredients
- 100 g fresh organic ginger
- 1 organic unwaxed orange 140g
- 1 organic unwaxed lemon 140g
- 1/2 tsp black peppercorns
- 1 tsp extra virgin olive oil
- 1 tsp ground turmeric
Instructions
- Wash the ginger, orange and lemon well under water.
- Roughly chop the ginger, quarter the orange and lemon. Then add them to the jug of a blender followed by the pepper, olive oil and 500 ml water. Blend as smooth as possible, then strain through a sieve and whisk in the turmeric before filtering it into 50 ml bottles. See tip for what to do with the pulp.
