Anti-inflammatory Turmeric Shots
Ingredients
- 3 inches fresh ginger
- 5 inches fresh turmeric
- 16 ounces coconut water (we love the brand Harmless Harvest)
- 1 lemon juiced
- pinch black pepper
Instructions
- Wash the fresh ginger and turmeric. No need to remove the skin!
- In a blender, add the coconut water along with the turmeric and ginger.
- Blend on high for about 45 seconds.
- Set a mesh strainer over a bowl (glass or dark plastic, the turmeric will stain!) and pour the contents of the blender into the strainer and stir with a dark-colored spatula until all the liquid is out of the pulp.
- Discard the pulp and place strainer back over the bowl. Juice the lemon over the strainer.
- Remove strainer and add a few grinds of fresh black pepper into the tonic (increases turmeric absorption by 2,000%)
- Next pour this mixture into an air tight container and store in the fridge for up to 7 days.
- Enjoy about 1-2 ounces per day as a shot or in a cup of hot water (also helps with absorption!) and always enjoy with a meal that contains fats, which you guessed it, helps with absorption!
