What Are Turmeric Shots?

Turmeric shots (sometimes referred to as wellness shots) are small servings of a condensed drink containing fresh turmeric (or ground turmeric) with fresh ginger root, lemon juice, raw apple cider vinegar and black pepper. The black pepper is added to help the body assimilate the curcumin found in turmeric for better absorption.

Ginger Turmeric Shot Recipe

This wellness shot recipe is a simple blend of 4 immune-boosting ingredients. It might become one of your favorite wellness shots to make. 

• Fresh turmeric
• Fresh ginger
• Lemons
• Raw apple cider vinegar (I use Bragg organic apple cider vinegar with mother)
• Black pepper (Turmeric (curcumin) isn’t absorbed well without consuming black pepper with it.  Black pepper contains piperine, a substance that enhances the absorption of turmeric (curcumin) by 2,000. (1))

Variations

• Use 2 tablespoons powdered turmeric instead of fresh.
• Use orange juice, cranberry juice, pomegranate juice or even water instead of apple cider vinegar.
• Add a little fruit juice or honey to sweeten to make the shots easier to consume.

How to Make Turmeric Shots

These ginger and turmeric shots takes about 12-15 minutes start-to-finish. 

1. Prepare Turmeric, ginger and fruit.  Peel and chop fresh turmeric and ginger and juice two lemons.
2. Blend. Add the peeled turmeric and ginger root in a blender and blend.  Add about 1/4 cup water as it processes to help it break down into a paste.
3. Strain.  Strain though a fine mesh sieve over a bowl or put the contents in a nut bag and squeeze the juice over a bowl.  Discard remaining turmeric and ginger.  
4. Lemon juice.  Mix lemon juice with turmeric ginger juice.
5. Pour. Pour about 1/3 cup for each shot (I purchased these little shot containers at Smart and Final)
6. Apple cider vinegar. Stir in 1 teaspoon of apple cider vinegar to each shot.

Tips For Making Ginger Turmeric Shots

1. Be careful when handling fresh turmeric as it can discolor your hands and kitchen tools.  Use food handling gloves if you have them. Otherwise wash your hands and tools right away to remove the yellow staining.
2. I purchased these little condiment containers at Smart and Final. They’re the perfect size for individual shots, so you can make a batch and have them in the refrigerator for a couple of days.
3. If drinking a lemon ginger turmeric shot straight-up is too potent for you, just pour a shot into a glass of water and drink it.  Drinking turmeric shots is definitely an acquired taste, but the nutritional benefits they provide make them so worth drinking.
