Servings: 8 servings
Course: Drinks
Cuisine: American

Ingredients
  

  • 1 large knob fresh ginger root roughly 3–4 inches, or about 50–60g
  • 4 lemons halved — peeled recommended for a cleaner flavor
  • 2 oranges halved — peeled or unpeeled, both work
  • ½ teaspoon ground turmeric or 1 inch fresh turmeric root
  • ¼ teaspoon black pepper

Equipment

Method
 

  1. Prep the ginger — Chop the ginger knob into small pieces. No need to peel if you're straining.
  2. Prep the citrus — Halve your lemons and oranges. Peel the lemons if you want a cleaner, less bitter flavor. Oranges can stay unpeeled.
  3. Juice or blend — Run everything through a juicer, OR add to a high-speed blender with a small splash of water and blend until smooth.
  4. Strain — If using a blender, strain through a fine mesh strainer or nut milk bag. Press the pulp firmly to extract every last drop of juice.
  5. Add spices — Stir in the turmeric and black pepper. Mix well.
  6. Serve or store — Pour into shot glasses and drink immediately, or transfer to a glass jar and refrigerate for up to 5 days. Shake well before each use.
