  • 30 g Fresh Ginger
  • 100 ml Water
  • 6 Pinches Ground Fresh Black Pepper

  • Now, strain the ginger turmeric juice through a fine-mesh sieve. Press down the pulpy bits with the back of a spoon to filter and collect as much juice as possible into a glass or container.
  • Pour into a glass and add a pinch of pepper (this helps with the turmeric absorption). Any left overs can be kept in a sealed jar for up to 5 days in the fridge.

Notes

Sweeter Options
If you find the shots too bitter and spicy, you can add a dash of maple syrup or honey.
Serving Tip
After drinking a shot of this lemon turmeric juice, snack on a few nuts: they contain healthy fats, which may help increase turmeric absorption.
Freezing
Want to make more? Scale up the quantities, divide the juice among ice cube trays and place in the freezer. Each ice cube equals around 30 ml of juice, so pop two cubes out of the tray to get a serving.
You can add them to a glass of water or whizz them straight into a smoothie.
