Equipment

Ingredients

  • 3 Ounces Ginger washed
  • 1 Ounce Turmeric washed, optional
  • Juice of 2 Lemons
  • Pinch Salt
  • 1 Cup Water
  • 1 Tablespoon Honey or Maple Syrup

Elderberry Variation

  • 1 ½ Cups Water divided
  • ¼ Cup Dried Elderberries
  • 3 Ounces Ginger washed
  • Juice of 2 Lemons
  • Pinch Salt
  • 1 Tablespoon Honey or Maple Syrup optional

Instructions

  • If making the elderberry version, start by making elderberry 'tea'. Place the elderberries and 1 cup water in a small saucepan. Bring to a boil and let simmer 5 minutes. Strain.
  • For ginger shots add water or for elderberry shots add the elderberry tea + ½ cup additional water, and the remaining ingredients to a high speed blender. Blend on high for 1 minute.
  • Strain through a fine mesh strainer. Transfer to a mason jar or small juice glasses. Use within 7 days.

Notes

These shots are strong! They have a big kick of ginger. Feel free to taste and dilute with water or orange juice. You can also add more honey to sweeten. Adjust to your taste.
