20kcal
Ingredients
- 1.5 cups fresh ginger root peeled and roughly chopped
- 1 cup fresh turmeric root peeled and roughly chopped
- 4 cups filtered water
- 0.25 cup fresh lemon juice
- 0.25 cup pure honey
- 0.25 tsp ground black pepper
Equipment
- saucepan
- fine mesh sieve
- glass bottle
Method
- Combine the chopped ginger and turmeric in a medium saucepan with the filtered water. Bring to a boil over high heat, then reduce the heat to low and simmer for 20 minutes until the water is deeply golden and fragrant.
- Remove the saucepan from the heat and let the mixture cool for 10 minutes until it’s safe to handle.
- Strain the liquid through a fine-mesh sieve or cheesecloth into a large bowl or pitcher, pressing on the solids to extract as much liquid as possible. Discard the solids.
- Stir in the lemon juice, honey, and black pepper until the honey is fully dissolved and the mixture is well combined.
- Pour the liquid into a clean glass bottle or jar with a tight-fitting lid. Store in the refrigerator for up to 1 week.
- Shake well before each use and serve chilled. A typical serving is 2 fluid ounces per shot.
