- 1 cup fresh ginger, peeled and chopped
- 1/2 cup fresh turmeric root, peeled and chopped (or 2 tablespoons ground turmeric)
- 1 cup fresh lemon juice (about 4-6 lemons)
- 2 tablespoons honey (or to taste)
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 1-2 cups water (adjust for desired consistency)
- 1 pinch cayenne pepper (optional)
- Peel and chop the fresh ginger and turmeric root.
- In a blender, combine the chopped ginger, turmeric, lemon juice, honey, black pepper, and 1 cup of water.
- Blend on high speed until the mixture is completely smooth. Add more water if a thinner consistency is preferred.
- Strain the mixture through a fine mesh sieve or cheesecloth into a bowl, using a spoon to press out all the liquid.
- Taste and adjust sweetness with additional honey or add a pinch of cayenne pepper if desired.
- Pour into glass containers and store in the refrigerator for up to one week.
- Shake well before serving and enjoy as a daily morning shot.
Notes
- Fresh turmeric can stain surfaces and hands; consider wearing gloves.
- Black pepper is essential as it contains piperine, which increases the absorption of curcumin from turmeric.
- If using ground turmeric instead of fresh, start with 2 tablespoons.
- Leftovers can be frozen in ice cube trays for longer storage.
