Servings: 6 50 ml
Ingredients
- 2 inches Fresh ginger root (or ½ teaspoon ground ginger)
- Juice of 1 orange
- Juice of ½ lemon
- ¼ tsp Ground cinnamon
- 1 tbsp Honey or maple syrup (optional, to taste)
- ¼ cup Hot water (not boiling)
Instructions
Prepare the Ginger
- Peel and roughly chop the ginger root into small pieces. If using ground ginger, measure out ½ teaspoon.
Juice the Citrus
- Juice the orange and half a lemon. Strain out seeds but keep the pulp if you prefer a more textured shot.
Combine Ingredients
- Add the chopped ginger and citrus juices to a blender.
- Add ¼ teaspoon cinnamon powder and 1 tablespoon honey or maple syrup (adjust to taste).
- Pour in ¼ cup of hot (not boiling) water.
Blend Until Smooth
- Blend the mixture on high speed until smooth. Most blenders will take about 1 minute.
Strain the Mixture (Optional)
- For a smoother texture, strain the liquid through a fine mesh sieve.
- Compost or discard the remaining pulp. You can skip this step if you prefer a more robust texture.
Serve & Enjoy
- Pour into shot glasses, sherry glasses, or small mugs.
- Serve warm and drink immediately for the best warming effect.
Notes
- Ginger Substitution: If fresh ginger isn’t available, ground ginger works just as well.
- Cinnamon Boost: Feel free to adjust the cinnamon for a spicier flavor.
- Storage: Ginger shots are best enjoyed fresh but can be stored in the fridge for up to 24 hours. Warm slightly before serving.
- Serving Size: This recipe yields approximately 6 x 50 ml servings, perfect for small doses of immune support.
