Gingershots
I kept seeing these recipes and due to my sulfite allergy buying them prepared is just an absolute no-go. So why not. I finally made a few different ones. The below is my favorite - add honey or maple syrup if you do not like the kick.
Method
- 1
Step 1
cut lemons and orange into big pieces. Add celery, ginger, lemons, orange and water to blender and blend all together until it has the consistency of a smoothie.

Step 2
Pour through a sieve. At this point, you can add the pepper, salt, and turmeric. If you want to add honey or maple syrup this is also the time.

Step 3
Once you have stirred in the spices, shake well and pour into air tight bottles. Cool in fridge and – drink a shot every day.
Good to know
You will likely need around 2 tbsp of maple syrup or honey- but taste. I do not use this, but then i really like it strong and i like the taste of ginger. You could experiment with additional or less spices- the gingershot is still valid without the pepper- or you can add a bit of cinnamon instead of the pepper/cayenne. That also good- i would say 1/4 tsp of each of your preferred spices. But play around. you have to drink it- so start with no additional spices and work your way through. The bottles will keep in the fridge for about a week. I just pour myself a shot every day-no need to buy
