Ingredients and Substitutions:

How to Make Ginger Juice:

Blend: First, add all the ingredients to a high-speed blender. Blend on high until the mixture is gold in color with no visible chunks.

Strain: Pour the juice through a fine mesh strainer or nut milk bag to remove the pulp.

I don't need to peel the ginger?

Correct! Save some time and leave the skin on. When we strain the ginger juice, the skin will stay behind in the strainer. Easy peasy!

How to make a ginger shot?

If you want to feel the burn, you can take a shot of this juice straight! If you're new to ginger or ginger shots, please know that ginger is VERY spicy when this concentrated. It will burn as it goes down, but some people love it!

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

  • It can prevent and reduce inflammation.
  • Can sooth stomach aches and alleviate nausea.
  • Stops the growth of harmful bacteria like E.Coli.
  • Can help prevent muscle soreness after a workout.
  • May even prevent viral infections.
  • Can boost weight loss and help you maintain a healthy weight.
  • Help prevent cancer.
  • It can lower blood sugar and has anti-diabetic properties.
  • Lower cholesterol thanks to its high antioxidant content.

  • Helps fight infections.
  • May prevent Alzheimer's and improve brain function.

All while being safe to consume, widely available, and inexpensive!!

Storage:

You bet it does! Transfer your strained juice to a glass bottle or jar. It will keep in the fridge for two weeks!

Description

This is a powerful ginger juice concentrate. I add just a tablespoon of this mix to teas, cocktails, or coconut water for a clean and refreshing ginger kick! This concentrate will store well in the fridge for up to two weeks. Use it wherever you would like to add some ginger flavor. Not only is this concentrate delicious and handy, it is super anti inflammatory and detoxing. Food that tastes good and is good for our bodies, what could be better?


Ingredients

Scale
  • 5 oz . fresh ginger, cut into a few chunks
  • ½ oz . fresh turmeric, optional
  • 4 tablespoons raw honey
  • 3 cups warm water

Instructions

  1. Add all ingredients to a high-speed blender and blend until the ginger and turmeric are broken down into a pulp and the water is brightly colored. Pour through a fine mesh strainer or nut milk bag and store for up to 2 weeks in the refrigerator.

Notes

For a vegan option, use agave instead of honey.
For a sugar-free option, omit the honey and add a few dashes of stevia if desired.

      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!

    Do you have a measurement chart or portion chart?
    What is 5oz ginger? Is this 1 inch ginger?
    What is 1/2oz tumeric? Is this 1/2 inch tumeric?
    It will help to put in bracket if you are not showing picture the portion to use for the recipe or point to a chart to check.
    Measurements for fresh, ground, liquid & tbsp/cups need to have a specific to compare or estimate.

      Hi Odelia, since fresh ginger and turmeric are hard to measure in cups (since each piece has such a unique shape) you will want to use the produce scale in the grocery store, or a home kitchen scale, to measure out your fresh turmeric and ginger in ounces. Ground spices will not work in this recipe. Let me know if you have any additional questions.
