What ingredients do you need to make these turmeric ginger immunity shots?

These immunity shots include fresh ginger, turmeric root, cayenne pepper powder, black pepper powder and lemons. Sometimes I have used limes instead of lemons. the cayenne pepper powder and black pepper powder is a must, they help the nutrients get absorbed into your system. I also like to add a little pink Himalayan salt. If you don’t have turmeric root you can use organic turmeric powder. I don’t often suggest organic produce but here I would recommend it.

What equipment do you need to make these turmeric ginger immunity shots?

I have made these shots with a slow juicer aka the Kuvings juicer. I have made them in my Nutri bullet and the blender. If you are making it in a blender you will need to strain out the fiber. I do this with a fine strainer, or a nut milk bag or a kitchen tea towel. Keep in mind whatever you use to strain it, the mixture will stain it. Hence I would recommend keeping it aside every time you need to make these shots (which I make weekly). I also use gloves as I don’t want my nails to always be yellow. You could use a wooden spoon or any rubber spatula.

How to make these turmeric ginger immunity shots?

If you are making this in your juicer you can add the ingredients into the juice and let it do its thing. However if you are making it in the blender, add the ingredients into the blender, mix until its smooth and pour it though a fine mesh strainer. At first let it drain out the liquid on its own. Get a glove and squeeze out the pulp in your hands. Pour the liquid into an air tight container and refrigerate for up to 1 week.

Consuming and storing these turmeric ginger immunity shots?

I always store these shots in a glass air tight jar/bottle and pour them out into shot glasses everyday when I am drinking it in the morning. It must be in the fridge. I like to drink it on empty stomach in the morning before I consume anything else.
