How to Make a Superfood Ginger Wellness Shot

IMG_8657.jpeg

With the new year and everyone trying to be healthy and trying to not get sick, I am sharing this Superfood Ginger Wellness Shot (there isn't any alcohol in it). I want to say that you can customize it by adding more or less of these ingredients. I was inspired to make my own ginger shot after visiting Hawaii last year with my family and being served this on the roadside of a fruit stand by an awesome hippie that had a bunch of homemade healthy stuff he was selling, he let us sample the ginger shot alongside a bunch of other goodies and this ginger shot stuck with me and I knew I had to make it once I got back to the mainland. Follow along as I make this easy Ginger Wellness Shot and watch the video, it is really easy!

Start off by rolling and cutting all the lemons in half.

Squeezing the Lemons

Squeezing the lemons into a large pitcher that has a sieve on top to caught all the seeds. I used a fork to help get all the juices out of the lemons.

Juice the Ginger

Next juice the ginger. You will need a juicer for this step, unfortunately I don't know another method of juicing the ginger.

Add Ginger Juice to Lemon Juice

Add the ginger juice (I usually do not add the white stuff on the bottom) to the lemon juice. I used a sieve to get any extra pieces of ginger that the juicer missed.

Add Water and Honey

You can add this to a mason jar and store this in the refrigerator for up to a week.

Enjoy!
