Step 1: The ginger and apple can be eaten.
A piece of ginger root and a sweet apple can be washed.Put the apples in a blender and cut them into 4 equal pieces.The ginger pieces are about 2 inch (1.3 cm) in size.When you have 3 cups of chopped ginger, put it in the blender with the apple pieces.Since you'll be straining the mixture, there's no need to peel the apple or ginger.You don't have to core the apple.If you have a juicer, you can use it.
Step 2: Cut the lemons into 3 to 4 pieces.
Use a vegetable peeler to remove the tough rind from lemons.Add the lemons to the blender.The lemon rind can be used in other recipes.
Step 3: Add black pepper and turmeric root to a smoothie.
Before making a smoothie, rinse 4 cups (200 g) of turmeric root, chop them, and add 1 pinch of black pepper.Adding a pinch of cayenne pepper or cinnamon will make your shot even spicier.You won't need to peel the turmeric since the roots are small and the liquid is straining.
Step 4: The ingredients should be blend until smooth.
The roots, apple, and lemons should be combined after you put the lid on the blender.Continue to pulse the mixture until it is thick and smooth.You may have to stop the blender occasionally.
Step 5: The ginger andTurmeric mixture needs to be boiled down.
Pour the mixture into the strainer over the bowl.Use the back of a spoon to press the liquid through the strainer.Line the strainer with a piece of cloth.
Step 6: Store the gingerTurmeric shots in a container.
The liquid should be put in a container.After pouring some of it into a shot glass, drink a glass of water.The liquid can be refrigerated for up to 4 days.You can drink as many shots as you want.Pour the liquid into the ice cube tray.You can thaw a cube whenever you want.The shots can be frozen for up to 6 months.
Step 7: You have to peel.
The ginger root can be removed with a spoon.The ginger pieces are about 2 inch (1.3 cm) in size.You should end up with 15 grams of ginger root.The ginger chunks should be put into a blender.
Step 8: You can get 2 cup of juice by squeezing 4 to 6 lemons.
Cut the lemons in half.You can squeeze the lemons using a reamer or juicer.The ginger should be put into the blender with the juice.Preservatives and lemon oils are usually contained in bottled lemon juice.
Step 9: It's best to blend the ginger with the lemon juice.
When the ginger is no longerChunky, put the lid on the blender and pulse the ingredients.The cloudy liquid should be visible in the blender.Before you blend the mixture, make sure to add a pinch of cayenne pepper.
Step 10: Put the mixture in a bowl.
Pour the ginger lemon mixture into the mesh strainer.The liquid is pushed into the bowl if the mixture is pressed with the back of a spoon.The strainer will hold the solid pulp.If you want to make a fruit smoothie, add the pulp to it.
Step 11: Keep the lemon ginger shots in a container.
You can drink up to 2 fluid ounces (30 or 59 liters) a day if you pour the strained liquid into a small shot glass.For up to a week, store the remaining liquid in a container.The longer the liquid is stored, the more it will intensify in flavor.You can freeze the shots for up to 6 months by pouring them into an ice cube tray.
Step 12: Put the apples in a container and chop them.
Before removing the apples, rinse and peel them.Put the apple pieces into the blender.
Step 13: The ginger root can be shredded.
Peel ginger root with a spoon by getting out a large piece or several small pieces.The ginger can be grating against the small holes of a box grater.If you don't like grating ginger, peel it and push it through a garlic press.
Step 14: The ginger, water, and lemon juice have to be put in a blender.
The apple pieces should be put in the blender with the ginger.The water and lemon juice should be poured in 4 cups.You can get the most intense lemon flavor by using freshly squeezed juice instead of bottled lemon juice.You'll need 2 lemons to get the juice.
Step 15: Take the ginger shots and blend them together.
When the mixture is smooth, pulse the ingredients.It's okay if there is a small amount of liquid in it.You don't need to strain the liquid because you peeled the apples and ginger root.
Step 16: If you want to drink the liquid, put it into a shot glass.
You can keep the leftover liquid in a container for up to a week.You can drink a lot of ginger shots.The shots can be put into an ice cube tray.The shots can be frozen for up to 6 months.
