Ingredients

  • 1/4 cup fresh ginger, chopped
  • 1/4 cup fresh turmeric root, chopped
  • 2 lemons, peeled and chopped
  • 2 oranges, peeled and chopped
  • 1 teaspoon black pepper
  • 2 cups water

Instructions

  1. Step 1: Add all ingredients to a blender and blend on high for 1-2 minutes until smooth.
  2. Step 2: Place a fine mesh strainer over a bowl or pitcher. Pour the blended liquid through the strainer, using a spoon to stir and press the pulp to separate the juice.
  3. Step 3: Discard the pulp left in the strainer. Pour the juice into an airtight container and store in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.
  4. Step 4: When ready to drink, pour 2 ounces into a glass and consume quickly like a shot.

Tips & Variations

  • Add a small piece of fresh cayenne pepper for an extra kick and immune boost.
  • Use organic citrus fruits for the freshest and safest flavor.
  • Adjust the black pepper amount to taste; it helps with turmeric absorption.

Storage

Store the immunity shots in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to two weeks. Shake well before each use. Consume within 2 hours of pouring for the best flavor and potency. You can also freeze portions in ice cube trays for longer storage.

How to Serve

A clear glass shows bright yellow-orange juice being poured from a clear glass bottle with a metal clasp into the glass, which sits on light wood. Around the glass and bottle, orange and yellow citrus wedges and chunks of fresh ginger root in a small white bowl add texture and color. Everything is placed on a white marbled surface. The juice is thick and smooth as it pours, highlighting its freshness. photo taken with an iphone --ar 4:5 --v 7

FAQs

Can I use powdered turmeric instead of fresh?

Fresh turmeric provides a brighter flavor and more nutrients, but you can substitute 1 to 2 teaspoons of powdered turmeric if fresh is unavailable. Keep the black pepper for better absorption.

How often should I take these immunity shots?

Taking one 2-ounce shot daily is a good routine to enjoy the benefits without overwhelming your system. Listen to your body and adjust accordingly.

Ingredients

Scale

Immunity Shot Ingredients

  • 1/4 cup fresh ginger, chopped
  • 1/4 cup fresh turmeric root, chopped
  • 2 lemons, peeled and chopped
  • 2 oranges, peeled and chopped
  • 1 teaspoon black pepper
  • 2 cups water

Instructions

  1. Blend Ingredients: Add the fresh ginger, turmeric, peeled lemons, peeled oranges, black pepper, and water into a high-powered blender. Blend on high speed for 1-2 minutes until all ingredients are fully combined and liquefied.
  2. Strain the Liquid: Place a fine mesh strainer over a large bowl or pitcher. Pour the blended mixture through the strainer, using a spoon to stir and press the pulp to extract as much juice as possible, separating the juice from the solids.
  3. Discard Pulp and Store Juice: Remove the pulp from the strainer and discard it. Pour the strained juice into an airtight container and refrigerate. The juice will keep fresh in the fridge for up to 2 weeks.
  4. Serve the Shots: When ready to consume, pour about 2 ounces of the juice into a small glass and drink quickly like a shot to maximize the health benefits.

Notes

  • Use fresh turmeric for best flavor and nutritional benefit. Dried turmeric can be substituted but will alter texture.
  • The black pepper enhances the absorption of curcumin, the active compound in turmeric.
  • If you prefer a milder taste, reduce the amount of ginger or turmeric slightly.
  • Shake well before each use as natural separation may occur.
  • Consume within 2 weeks for optimal freshness and potency.
