If you're looking for a natural way to boost your energy and strengthen your immune system, the Ginger Shot is your ideal companion! This powerful elixir made from ginger, lemon, turmeric, and honey is an excellent home remedy against fatigue and minor winter ailments.
The Benefits of Ginger Shots
Ginger is known for its anti-inflammatory and digestive properties. Turmeric, with its active ingredient curcumin, is a powerful antioxidant. Lemon provides vitamin C to strengthen the immune system, and honey not only enhances the flavor but also has antibacterial properties.
Ingredients
- 200 g fresh ginger
- 2 lemons
- 1 tablespoon turmeric powder
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 500 ml water
Preparation
- Prepare the ingredients: Wash the ginger thoroughly.
- Blend: Cut the ginger into pieces and blend it with water and turmeric powder until smooth.
- Strain: Strain the mixture through a fine sieve to extract only the pure juice.
- Add other ingredients: Squeeze the lemons and add their juice along with the honey. Mix well.
- Bottling: Pour the prepared mixture into a clean, airtight glass bottle.
- Storage: Keep your ginger shot in the refrigerator for up to a week.
Storing in Glass Bottles
It is recommended to store the ginger shot in glass bottles, preferably in small portions for easier use. Glass is an inert material that does not release harmful substances into your mixture—unlike plastic, which may contain unwanted chemicals.
Additionally, glass helps preserve the freshness and nutrients of the ginger shot for longer by preventing oxidation. This way, you can prepare a larger quantity in advance and store it in small bottles for quick and convenient daily intake.
How to Consume?
Take a small shot (about 30 ml) every morning on an empty stomach for maximum effect. You can also mix it into your smoothies or dilute it with a bit of warm water for a milder version.
Bonus Tip
Add a pinch of black pepper to optimize the absorption of curcumin from the turmeric!
This homemade ginger shot is a true energy bomb and a valuable ally for naturally strengthening your immune system.
