I regularly make these energy shots to stay healthy. Turmeric and ginger both have great health benefits. They are anti-inflammatory and relieve cold and flu symptoms. Ginger supports overall digestion and curcumin, which is the main ingredient of turmeric, supports the immune system. I always feel energized when I drink this in the morning.

How to make turmeric ginger energy shots
Peel the ginger and turmeric using a spoon. Attention: the turmeric will badly stain your hands and utensils! I recommend using gloves. Once peeled, add them to a bowl. Squeeze the lemon either by hand or using a citrus press (see more tips on how to juice a lemon). Add the lemon juice to the bowl. Add to your blender or food processor and blend till smooth. If the paste is too thick, add a little more lemon juice or water. Carefully pour the blended mixture into a nut milk bag, over a bowl. Attention: your nut milk bag will become yellow. It can just become your dedicated turmeric shorts bag. Squeeze out all the liquid. I got about 1/2 liter of fresh turmeric-ginger-lemon juice. Store in a glass container. If you have little glass vials of around 50 ml, one would be your daily dose. Refrigerate and consume within 7-10 days. To keep them longer, you can add them to ice cube trays and freeze them. You can also make this recipe with a juicer. See how to make turmeric and ginger shots with a juicer.
