Recipe type: Juice
Serves: 15 ounces
Ingredients
- ~7 oz turmeric root (large handful)
- 3-4 lemons, rind removed
- ~6 oz ginger root (one large root), roughly chopped
- 1 sweet apple, quartered
- Pinch black pepper
Instructions
- Run all ingredients through a juicer, or blend in a blender and pour through a cloth-lined sieve to strain out pulp.
- Pour juice into individual bottles, one large jar, or an ice cube tray to store.
- To serve, pour about 2 ounces into a glass and add a small pinch of black pepper. Drink like a shot and chase with water.
Notes
These shots are best when taken on an empty stomach in the morning.
Store juice in the fridge up to 4 days.
I recommend taking these shots every other day, unless you feel like you’re fighting off a cold, in which case every day would be appropriate.
