How to make a ginger shot?

You can also add additional sweetener and a squeeze of lemon to help brighten up the shot and make it less spicy.

Amazing :)
Thank you!
Thank you! Very excited to make this.
Do you need to peel the ginger?
Hi Jenn! You shouldn’t need to peel the ginger. When you pour it through a fine strainer or coffee filter, it should strain all the skin bits out :) Hope you enjoy!
Bye bye inflammation! We love using ginger to soothe our digestion and reduce inflammation. It makes us feel great and we get so much more bang for our buck compared to the tiny $4 shots at the health food store.

I always feel like this time of year everyone in my family gets sick so this is the perfect drink for us! It is immune boosting and has so many other benefits too!
Perfect addition to add in a morning smoothie for that extra immune boost!
